Title Blast Effects : Physical Properties of Shock Waves Author(s) Sochet, Isabelle Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. Description X, 197 p. 91 illus., 23 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This book compiles a variety of experimental data on blast waves. The book begins with an introductory chapter and proceeds to the topic of blast wave phenomenology, with a discussion Rankine-Hugoniot equations and the Friedlander equation, used to describe the pressure-time history of a blast wave. Additional topics include arrival time measurement, the initiation of detonation by exploding wires, a discussion of TNT equivalency, and small scale experiments. Gaseous and high explosive detonations are covered as well. The topics and experiments covered were chosen based on the comparison of used scale sizes, from small to large. Each characteristic parameter of blast waves is analyzed and expressed versus scaled distance in terms of energy and mass. Finally, the appendix compiles a number of polynomial laws that will prove indispensable for engineers and researchers ISBN,Price 9783319708317 Keyword(s) 1. Aerospace engineering 2.
