EVALUATION OF OVERPRESSURE WAVE TRANSITION BY AIRBLAST OVERPRESSURE AND SHOCK WAVE ATTENUATION ANALYSIS USING A SMALL BLACK POWDER CHARGEWeitzel, William R 01 January 2014 (has links)
Eight flush mount pressure sensors were used in a series of 3 test sequences to measure air overpressure produced by a firecracker. Overpressure was recorded at a range of 1 inch to 21 inches away from detonation, and charge weight was determined to be 0.1mg of black powder. Air overpressure prediction equations were developed from test series then compared to collected data for subsequent tests. Overpressure wave velocity was measured using wave arrival time and distance between sensors. This wave velocity was compared to calculated wave velocity using overpressure and ideal gas law. Overpressure and wave velocity are directly related to each other in shock wave behavior. The goal of these tests was to identify at what point the in elastic-plastic region the overpressure wave no longer closely resembled a shock wave, but an elastic wave instead.
