Title: TERTIARY EFFECTS OF BLAST--DISPLACEMENT. Preliminary Report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4315339· OSTI ID:4315339

Measurements were made of the velocity and distance of translation of anthropomorphic dummies and equivalent spheres caused by blast winds. The primary technique for recording the movement of these ohjects was phototriangulation. The secondary technique (applicable to certain of the equivalent spheres) was to have the spheres impelled into missile traps. The resultant penetration provides a means for determining the velocity at the time of impact. Analysis of the results from both the primary and secondary techniques is expected to provide some of the irformation identified in the objective. (auth)
