Progress is reported on crushable shield analysis and design, shock impingemert experiments on crushable shields, and coolant decompression experiments and analysis. A description of the various subroutines used in generalized stress wave motion computer code written in the FORTRAN language for the IBM 7090 Computer for calculation of wave transmission in layered composites of materials is given along with their uses. A data acquisition method is described which uses data from successive shock tube loading experiments on one sample to obtain the unloading isentrope relations for balsa wood in the shock tube facility. Information is given regarding the initial stages of vapor formation caused by sudden decompression of water. (N.W.R.)
