An Experimental Study Of The Shock Wave In Free Air From Spherical Charges Of Tnt And 60 PDF Download

Results are presented which give information on those aspects of the shock wave which are of the most common interest, namely: peak pressure, positive impulse, positive duration, maximum negative pressure, shape of the pressure-time curve and information on the secondary shock. An equation for the peak pressure-distance curve is given and a comparison of results is made. The values of constants which define the shapes of pressure-time curves are given. All measured values are displayed graphically and photographs of actual records are reproduced. (Author).
