The AFWL CHEBS (Conventional High Explosive Blast and Shock) Test Series

Abstract

The objective of the CHEBS test series are to develop a data base for the blast and shock environments created by conventional high explosive weapons and subsequently to develop appropriate analytical techniques. Both efforts are aimed at producing reliable protective structure design criteria. This paper presents results of this test series. In particular the free-field close-in blast and shock environment, bomb-to-bomb variation, and experimental error are examined. Brief results of a statistical analysis are presented.
