Attenuation and Transformation of Pressure Resulting from a HAM Detonation

10 Attenuation and Transformation of Pressure Resulting from a HAM Detonation 

The technique of stoichiometric HAM detonation pressure attenuation is described in [17] and is illustrated in Fig. 9.32. The initiation of a blast wave in a 5.3 m container with HAM was similar to [7]. But, in this case, a gas detonation was initiated in the container by a 10-g C-4 charge. A 2-m high and 10 m wide wall was 

The pressure transducers PI through P9 and the displacement transducers Dlthrough D6 were installed on the wall and in its surroundings (see Fig. 9.33). The records of pressure transducers installed ahead of and behind the wall are presented in Figs. 9.34 and 9.35. A noticeable reduction in the pressure load was
