The relationship between material properties, residual stresses and cavity radius due to a nuclear explosion. Topical report, 26 September 1975-1 May 1976
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5035123
The influence of material properties on the magnitude of the residual stresses around a nuclear cavity is examined. Particular attention in given to the effect on peak transverse residual stresses of parametrically varying material properties such as water content, percentage of air-filled voids, elastic properties, shear strength and depth of burial. The influence of these parametric variations on the final cavity radius is discussed. A correlation between peak residual stress and cavity radius is noted; a larger cavity radius implies a smaller residual stress.
