TNTRODUCTION

This report covers material presented at a workshop on high explo-sives incendiary modeling and was intended to set the stage for presen-tations to follow on the effects of multiple fragments and their eff,;ctson aircraft components.

In this setting, blast is described as a ubiquitous damage a~entassociated with many conventional and unconventional (FAE and nuclear)weapons. The damage produced in an aircraft target by a high explosiveincendiary projectile is generally quite localized in its effect. Theeffects are limited to a zone quite close to the projectile at its timeof detonation, and the damages are produced by the combined action ofthe fragments from the projectile, the products of explosion, and alsofrom the air blast produced.

Two convenient divisions of blast are classified as internal andexLfru.i. Reference to internal blast is when the damage is applied in-side the structure of interest, and external blast is when the damageagent is applied to the exterior surface of the structure of interest.

EXTERNAL BLAST

External blast is probably the least efficient damage agent in cur-rent study by the warhead community since, in the majority of the blastfield, around 99.9% of the incident energy in the blast wave is reflectedfrom the target and only 0.1% is useful in damaging the target. Thesaving graces are that, for many weapons. there is so much of it and itdoes tend toward an isotropic damage agent.

Kinney's report1 gives an excellent overview of the structure ofcomposite blast waves. Figures 1 through 6 are taken from this reportand will serve as a means of defining the near-field for a bare charge.

Figure 1 is a relatively complicated pressure structure for a com-posite blast wave. Figure 2 shows density, particle velocity, and tem-perature profiles at a distance of 5 charge radii from explosion center.

Figure 3 is a pressure profile for a composite blast reaching out to 11charge radii, is extended out to 25 charge radii in Figure 4, and stillfurther to 50 charge radii in Figure 5. Figure 6 is a summary, in log-log coordinates of the pressure-distance relations for air-shock front,the products-air interface, and for the direct pressures of the expand-ing products cloud.

External blast damage is treated in a number of ways. The currentcriteria in use in the community are summarized in Table 1. The cuberoot scaling is essentially a peak pressure criterion; the BRL (0. T.Johnson) scaling is midway between a peak pressure criteria and a re-flected impulse criterion; the British square root scaling is midwaybetween a peak pressure and a side-on impulse criterion; and the crit-ical impulse in a critical time criterion produces criteria that shiftover the full range from peak pressure to side-on impulse, depending onthe target and the charge size. The author is personally prejudicedtoward the later criterion.

the target will not be perforated by the fragments (a practical situationfor 20 mm HEI fragments against 1/4-inch aluminum sheet), we can calcu-late the momentum per unit area in the fragment system and compare it !tbthe reflected impulse from a bare explosive charge. To enhance the cal-culation in favor of the blast, the full explosive weight will be usedwith no Fano correction. Spherical geometry is assumed.

For example, let us examine a device with a charge-to-metal ratio of0.33, a charge of 6 grams with a density of 1.65 grams/cm 3, and a steelcase of 20 grams with a density of 7.8 grams/cm 3. The comparison of theimpulse per unit area of the fragments and the reflected impulse from theblast are shown in Figure 7.

If the device examined had been moving at 1,000 m/sec, the additionaleffects in the forward direction are easily estimated for the fragmentsbut not for the blast. The blast is influenced by the pressure distribu-tion around the charge and the velocity gradient in the products cloud.While linear momentum is still conserved, the system in which conserva-tion applies includes the air that has been influenced by the shock wave.A simplified method of treating the moving charge blast is to compute ashifted burst point and treat the blast as spherical from thar point. Amore general approach is shown in Appendix A. In a vacuum, the center ofmass continues in its original state of motion, but in reasonable atmos-pheres the blast center slows rapidly. Figure 8 shows a plot of sug-gested shifts in burst point as a function of velocity with altitude asa parameter. The kinetic energy of the explosive charge should be addedto the charge weight. A convenient formula for such a correction isshown in equation (1).

INTERNMl BLAST

Confined internal blast is the most efficient part of blast as adamage agent. In an underwater explosion, approximately 45% of the ex-plosive energy appears as kinetic energy of the surrounding water at thefirst bubble maximum. In a cased explosive charge, 25 to 35% of thedetcnat:on energy appears as kinetic energy of the fragments.

Detonation of an explosive charge such as TNT or H-6 in an air-filled unvented chamber is still more efficient on a weight basis, asthese explosives are oxygen-deficient, and burning of the excess fuel inthe air's oxygen makes available the heat of combustion rather than theheat of detonation.

The restrictions are important; an unvented chamber and sufficientoxygen. If the chamber is vented above a critical amount based on thevent area to chamber surface area ratio, the combustion effect is re-moved and even for nearly oxygen-balanced explosives such as PETN, thetotal impulse on the chamber walls is decreased by a factor of about 20.The critical vent area to surface area ratio for most internal detona-tions is of the order of 10%. The detonation energy is always available.

Even in an overvented chamber, the wall loading due to the directblast waves and from the multiple reflected blast waves of the cornersis available for damage production3 (see Fi.gures 9-11).

The detonation of an HEI projectile equipped -rit. a delay fuze in-side an aircraft can occur in a variety of environments ranging frombeing immersed in liquid, surrounded by a variety of components in alarger compartment (too large for compartment wall damage), noncriticallyvented chambers, to overcritically vented chambers essentially devoid ofcomponents.

IN A LIQUID SURROUND

When the detonation occurs in a liquid, the liquid surround becomesa part of the fragment system attacking the container walls. But due to'cavitation effects produced by the rapid acceleration of the containerwalls, the deformation and rupture of the container wall becomes depend-ent on the energy flux, and the radius of damage is found to be propor-tional to the square root of the explosive charge. The constant of pro-portionality should normally depend on the density of the liquid and thedensity, thickness, and strength of the wall material. However, as isfound in underwater attack of ships, a constant value will probably beadequate. The radius within which the container wall would be rupturedis shown in equation (2).

NEAR-FIELD EFFECTS

When the detonation occurs in a large compartment containing a largenumber of components, a zone will be created which will be empty of com-ponents (P a 100 kb) surrounded by a compressed zone where the componentshave been totally or partially disabled by impact during the compression.Using the Gurney formula for predicting the velocity that can be giventhe surrounding medium when treated as an average density of material,and the unit rupture work 4 as the limit energy that can be absorbed bythe support structure (assumed to be aluminum in aircraft structures),the radii can then be calculated by using equation (3) that will describethese zones.

1 /3RNF - K (-) / (3)

RNF is the threshold limit of the zone of damage, and the radius of thezona of total removal (RTNF) would be about one quarter of the thresholdradius.

K is dimensionless, but the density must be expressed in units whichmatch the charge units a;nd thi !Eiired luuyLh ulitUi. For aluminum struc-ture, K = 3.09, anc RNF can be calculated by using equation (4).

DIRECT BLAST ON WALL

There are those cases where the detonation occurs in proximity tothe skin or a compartment wall in such a geometry that the fragment beamdoes not impact the wall. However, a direct blast may rupture the skinor wall. The damage mechanism utilizes the reflected impulse, which willbe delivered under the conditions of HEI detonations in times short com-pared to tne resonant period of the structures under consideration.

geometric limitation is also imposed due to the sharp drop in the re-flection coefficient at the critical angle for formation of the Machscem, 39058', or for all practical purposes, 40 degrees. Since the re-flected impulse scales as W0 " 55 , the radius of direct blast (RDB) canbe represented by equation (6).

ROB = KDB W 0 "5 5 (6)

The constant, KDB, is dependent on the density of the wall, thestrength of the wall, and the thickness of the wall. These are containedin the critical impulse in the critical time criterion, which for sim-plicity will be shortened to a critical reflected impulse criterion, andis represented by equation (7).

CLOSED COMPARTMENT

The reason for treating the direct blast first was that if the dir-ect blast blows a hole in the compartment wall, sufficient to cziticallyvent the chamber, then the gas pressure phase of the internal explosion,which is responsible for the majority of the impulse on the walls, willbe eliminated. The gas pressure phase is dependent on several factors;the charge to free volume ratio which, depending on the atmospheric pres--ure, determines the fuel to oxygen ratio and the pressure rise in thecompartment; and the vent area to surface area iaLiu. Since the loadingtime is large compared to the resonant period of the structure, the im-pulse criterion becomes a peak pressure criterion and the radius ofeffects will vary as the cube root of the explosive.

The proportionality constant is similar to that for the near-fieldeffects. 'he density of interest does rvot include the components in thevolume, but only the mass of air and the mass of the walls. Again assum-ing aluminum as the wall material, the damage radius (Kg) is as shown inequation (8).

RETURN TO THE NEAR-FIELD

Let us go back now to the attack on a 1/4-inch aluminum plate withfirst the spherical charge and then with an actual 20 mm HEI projectilewith instantaneous fuzing.

The typical characterization of the fragments from tLe 20 mm HEIprojectile gives fragments of such low mass that even with the vectoraddition of the 1,000 m/sec (3,280 ft/sec), the fragments are below theballistic limit for the 1/4-inch (6.35 m) aluminum.

Assuming the same fragment size distribution for the sphericalcharge, let us examine the momentum delivered to the plate by the frag-ments, the reflected impulse (air shock) and examine to see if near-fieldcorrections are required. Let us arbitrarily set the burst point at 30mm (1.18 inch) from the plate.

The critical impulse for the plate is 16.22 - bar - msec. Evenwithout the additional momentum in the forward directed fragment cloud,at 30 m the central region would deliver 21.2 - bar - msec. This es-tablishes the possibility of producing a plugging failure of at leastsome of the plate.

With the addition of the incoming velocity, the central region ofthe fragment cloud will deliver more impulse than would be obtained fromfirst adding the incoming velocity to the fragment velocity for the de-creased time to reach the target surface, which means that less expansionhas taket, place, and that the mass impacLing per unit area will also in-crease. Treating the expanding fragment case as a constaut volume shell,the sequence of events and the magnitude of the impulse being deliveredcan be shown diagrammatically as in Figure 12. In actual fact, the caseruptures before the case has expanded to twice the original size. andexplosive products begin to flow between the fragments. The initial flowvelocity is of the order of 6.6 mm/usec (21,648 ft/sec); so during thelater phase of the interaction depicted, the beginning stages of the airshock formation and the streaming product cloud will reach the targetahead of the fragments. The central regioL of the target will receive

nearly tv.ce the expected impulse from just the fragments by the near-field _ fects of the detonation products.

Now let us look at an actual 20-mm HEI projectile during the earlyphases of its expansion as shown in Figure 13. The fragments at thisstage of expansion are not the fragments observed in an arena character-ization test. It is probable that the cracks that lead to the eventualseparation are partially formed, but separation has not yet occurred.In Ithe near-field none, either a different fragmentation characterizationis required, or the behavior of closely packed and aligned multiple frag-merits must be mnre thoroughly studied.

CONCLUS IONS

Blast combined with fragment momentum effects, and especially near-field blast, play an important part in the damage produced by high-explosive incendiary projectiles. The behavior of the total damagemechanism requires either a more thorough examination of the effects ofmultiple fragments acting in concert to produce synergistic effects, .ra recharacterization of the fragmentation from HE! pronjctilcs whencper-ating in the near-field. Various criteria for estimating radii of effectsof the various parts of the blast damage agent have been developed.These should not be used if experimental data can be obtained. The con-stants in the equations and criteria are theoretically derived. It ishoped that the criteria presented will provide a guide for future experi-mentation to determine the actual values cf the constants to be used inthese equations.

APPENDIX A

This appendix covers an approximate method for treating movingcharge blasts. The method selected is based on the shift of the centerof mass, taking momentum conservation into effect and using the massover which the momentum is conserved as the mass encompassed by theshock wave as a function of time. Using this procedure and referenceweights of explosives (W) of 1 kilogram, and reference velocity (V,) ofthe explosive of 1 kilometer per second, the effective shift of the cen-ter of mass (X,), and thus the center of the detonation as a function oftime (t) are shown in Figure A-i. Since reference values were used, thisbecomes a universal curve which can be used with the scaling laws to en-able one to shift the curve for any reasonable altitude, temperature,pressure, and explosive weight. The approach is to first calculate theeffective explosive weight (W) by using equation (1).

Vc 2

We - W(I + VC 2 (A-1)

This equation essentially says that for an explosive moving at 3 kilome-ters per second, the kinetic energy is equal to the detonation energy ofthe explosive. The next thing that is determined is the scaled distance(Z) from the detonation point to the target in terms of the effectiveexplosive weight (We), and from the tables, having entered the calculatedvalue of We we determine the value of Z. Once we have determined thevalue of Z, we can obtain a scaled time (tz) to the target. Now, goingto the curve of shift of the center of mass (Figure A-l) with this valueof tz, we can get a scaled shift in meters of the center of mass (Xcz).Using the determined value of Z, we can now geometrically solve for theeffective scaled distance (Ze) to the target by means of a simple tri-angle solution, since we know Z. Xcz, and the angle theta (6) betweenthem. Solving this triangle (Figure A-2) gives us the value for Ze.Knowing the value of Ze, we can go to the tables and get the pressures(P and P,), the scaled side-on :mpulse (Isz), and the scaled reflectedimpulse (IRz). Now, through the application of the proper scaling laws,we will be able to calculate the actual overpressure (P), the scaledoverpressure (Pz) to be experienced, the side-on impulse (I), and thereflected impulse (IR).

The following equations show the relationship between the abovementioned parameters, and together with appropriate tables, permit alldesired calculations to be made.
