Abstract

Explosive detonations produce shocked transients with highly nonlinear pressure signatures in the near field. This chapter presents the properties and defining characteristics of a suite of theoretical source pressure functions representative of detonations and deflagrations, and constructs criteria for defining reference blast pulses. Both the primary positive overpressure and the negative underpressure phases contribute to the temporal and spectral features of a blast pulse.
