HSM: a measurements engineering challenge. [Impact testing of hard structure munition weapons]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7343175
An isolated recording system immune to external noise was developed to record dynamic data in a hostile environment produced by detonating 100 lb of explosive and impacting 15,000 lb of concrete on the warhead case of a hard structure munitions (HSM) weapon. Transducers were evaluated at anticipated values. Strains were generally less than 10,000 ..mu..in./in.; accelerations were generally less than 100,000 g.
