Overview of High-Explosive (HE) Blast Damage Mechanisms and VulnerabilityPrediction Methods

摘要

An overview of high-explosive (HE) blast phenomenology, its models, methods, andthe scaling of results are presented. Experimental data of HE blast damage to various types of structures are also presented, together with some of the HE blast structural damage models. Empirical vulnerability models of weapon systems to HE blast are also discussed.
