reluctance, pressure gages,
The gage pressure ranges were assigned on
the basis of an expected free-field over-pressure of 17.5 psi at the
structure and on shock tube diffraction studies,
Two free-field stations were used to give pressure-time and q time records,
RESULTS
The expected ideal blast wave incident on the target structure
was not realized, but instead, a distorted 22 psi wave with a slow
rising front was recorded,
This precluded an attempt to compare the
data with thet from the shock tube, but the possibility for comparison
with data obtained from the passage of a precursor wave over & full
size cubicle on Operation TEAPOT still exists,
Neither sufficient time
nor means for analysis of these data are available at the Pacific
Proving Ground,
