Tests and Evaluations of Close-In Detonations

Abstract

Some close-in detonation tests conducted in the FRG are described and methods to determine the loading caused by blast and fragmentation are mentioned. After establishing the load the local damage effects are explained theoretically. The problem of determining the blast load caused by cased cylindrical charges as well as the question of pressure waves caused by fragmentation is mentioned. Finally the question of scaling fragmentation effects is considered.
