Target effects on package response: An experimental and analytical evaluation
Sandia National Laboratories has completed an experimental and analytical evaluation to compare the effects of a simple model transportation cask impacting on targets encompassing a range of stiffnesses. The cylindrical shaped unit was impacted into soil, concrete, and ''unyielding'' targets at velocities varying from 44 ft/s (30 mph) to 110 ft/s (75 mph). The 44 ft/s impact velocity correlates directly to a 30-ft drop height used in regulatory testing. 18 refs., 69 figs., 8 tabs.
