reluctance, pressure gages,
The gage pressure ranves vere aasigned on
the basis of an expected free-fieli over-pressure of 17.5 pei at the
atructure and on shock tube diffraction studies.
Two free-field stations vere used to give pressure-tine amd q time records,
RESULTS
The expected ideal blast wave incident on the target structure
was not realised, but instead, a distorted 22 psi wave with a slow
rising front vas recorde’,
This precluded an attempt to compare the
date with that from the shock tube, but the possibility for coeperison
with data obtaine?t from the passage of a precursor vave over a full
aise cubicle on Operation TEAPOT still existe,
Neither sufficient time
nor means for analysis cf these data are available at the Pacific
Proving Ground.
