Experimental data from 2012 repeatable explosive field trials

The University of Newcastle conducted explosive field trials in 2012 to measure peak incident pressure, impulse and time of positive phase duration. A novel aspect of the field trials were the repeatability of tests. Four scaled-distances were selected: Z = 1.1, 1.6, 2.1 and 3.2 m/kg1/3. Eight pressure gauges collected data for eight explosive shots at each scaled distance. Consequently, the repeatability of testing allowed the mean and variance of blast load parameters to be quantified with a view to better characterising model error and blast load variability. This report describes the data obtained from these explosive field trials.
