Blast Wave Loading of a Two-Dimensional Circular Cylinder

Abstract : A two-dimensional non-responding cylinder was exposed to decaying shock waves induced in the BRL 57.5 cm shock tube. Pressure-time records are shown for transducer locations spaced at 15 degree intervals around the cylinder for input side-on overpressure levels of 42.3, 75.9, and 112.2 kPa. Pertinent loading results are listed in tabular form.
