Application of a Statistical Analysis Software Package to Explosive Testing

摘要

The report describes a user-friendly software package for the analysis andpresentation of results from explosive destructive testing. The analysis covers the Bruceton, Probit and Army Materiel Command Regulation (AMCR) statistical methods. The program is illustrated by its application to several small scale tests for the assessment of explosive sensitivity to various stimuli. They are the Gap test, Jet Sensitivity test, Slapper Detonator test and Cap Sensitivity test. The Report includes an overview of the basis of the mathematical equations used in the evaluation of the statistical data, and the menu commands in the computer model are described.
