MABS Monograph, Air Blast Instrumentation, 1943-1993 Measurement Techniques andInstrumentation. Volume 1. The Nuclear Era. 1945-1963

摘要

Blast wave measurement techniques and instrumentation developed by MilitaryApplications of Blast Simulators (MABS) participating countries to study blast phenomena during the nuclear era are summarized. Passive and active gages both mechanical self-recording and electronic systems deployed on kiloton and megaton explosive tests during the period 1945-1963 are presented. The country and the year the gage was introduced are included with the description. References are also provided. Volume 2 covers measurement techniques and instrumentation for the period 1959-1993 and Volume 3 covers structural target and gage calibration from 1943 to 1993. (AN).
