Back Internal Blast Experiments for Reactive Material Fragment Recovery and Development of Protective Coatings

Fiscal Year 2019
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Physics
Investigator(s) Hooper, Joseph P.
Sponsor Office of Naval Research (Navy)
Summary This effort will directly characterize the fragment distribution of a reactive material case following explosive launch on a scaled warhead. Our particular focus is on changes in the fragment distribution when the device is used against alternative targets such as concrete and soft materials. Details on the materials and testing are all Distro D or higher, and can be obtained by contacting jphooper@nps.edu.
