STUDIES OF REACTOR CONTAINMENT. Combined Monthly Progress and Financial Status Report No. 20
In studies of stress wave attenuation in laminar blast shields, alternative methods of assessing compression wave attenuation through metal plates are being considered. Measurements of the shock reflection and crushing processes in samples of concrete, celotex, and sugar pine were made in a shock tube. Results are discussped. Approximate methods of shell analysis considering large displacempent were developed and will bee appliped to tests which were recently conducted at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. Propegation of pressure waves in water--steam mixtures wase studied through observation of bubble collapse with high-speed motion picture phetography. Thpe slow pressure rise which was detected is evidenced by the slow collapse of the large bubbles after passage of thpe wave front. (For preceding period see AECU-3959.) (J.R.D.)
