ABSTRACT

The shockwave falls in strength, at a rate determined using the third power of distance within 2R0 distance from the explosion center.

P rm ( )r ∝ −3 (1)

r = R R0

where Pm is wavefront pressure in (MPa). r is distance ratio in (dimensionless). R is distance from explosion center in (m). R0 is charge radius in (m).
