Probabilistic Model for Debris Hazards from Explosions,
Abstract
The sample case demonstrates the applicability of the probabilistic approach to the debris hazard problem, although test data are lacking to verify the prediction. It must be emphasized that all five input probability density functions are crude and unsophisticated for preliminary demonstration purposes and can be easily improved or modified when more empirical data and/or theories are developed. The Monte Carlo random trajectory simulation program will be further developed to include the initial launch height, negative launch angle, and multiple mesh elements, Field tests on various building and charge characteristics are also planned for later stages of the project to obtain, improve, and verify the five input probability density functions.
