Abstract

This simple MatLab script will provide pressure, impulse, arrival time and duration predictions for a user defined explosive charge mass and stand-off. The parameter predictions for positive and negative phase are given by digitised data from UFC-3-340-02, Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions. The negative phase is approximated with a cubic expression from Granstrom, Loading Characteristics of Air Blasts From Detonating Charges, Technical Report 100, Transactions of the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.
