Book excerpt: This report describes the fielding of an experiment on the MISER BLUFF Phase II events to quantify the driving parameters behind a shock-driven ground spall phenomenon observed on Phase I events. A detailed background for the experiment is presented in Section II, while the next sections provide details on the deployment of the experiment and the subsequent data acquisition. The report concludes by recognizing that the primary data acquisition instrumentation (cameras deployed by the Denver Research Institute) did not acquire any information because the events created dust clouds which completely obliterated the test areas. The secondary data, net disc displacement, is reported to be too sparse, and to have too much scatter, to permit the derivation of valid correlations. The report concludes with a recommendation that the measurement be attempted again on the next series of explosive events, or perhaps that a small experiment be mounted to obtain similar information from a laboratory shock tube.

Download or read book MISERS BLUFF II Cloud Sampling Program Data Summary and Dust Cloud Characterizations written by Charles R. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes in detail the analysis of the MISERS BLUFF II dust cloud data base (in-situ particle size spectral data and fallout data) obtained during Phase 1 of the MISERS BLUFF II Cloud Sampling Program. The analysis indicates a mass loading ratio of about 7 at cloud stabilization (T+10 minutes) between the multiple and single burst dust clouds. Although, within the range of measurement uncertainties, this value may be comparable to that value of six predicted by linear superposition, photographic evidence of the multiple burst event strongly suggests this about 15 percent 'enhancement' in mass aloft may be real. Of greater importance, the analysis revealed that linearly superimposing six of the MBII single burst dust clouds resulted in a significant overestimation of average mass concentrations that were found in the multiple burst cloud. This overestimation appears to be due to the inability of linear superpostion to treat the effects of the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic interactions occurring between closely spaced detonations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil strain measurements were made on the MISERS BLUFF - Phase II tests. The first test, a 109 metric ton ANFO explosion, indicated that the tubular, telescoping strain gage with large end plates and a DC LVDT sensing element should be adequate to measure strains on the second test which was the detonation of six 109 metric ton ANFO charges on the corners of a 100 m hexagon. The strains observed on the second event were much larger than on the first event. Three locations were instrumental to 1.6 m in depth for vertical strain, two halfway between charges on opposite sides of the array and one 6 m from the array center. The strains were initially compressive due to air shock loading and then extensional during the negative phase. Extensional strains greater than 50% were observed at the 6 m location down to a depth of 0.9 m. The air shock loading at the locations between charges was not the same, nor were the soils identical. Strains of -12% to +30% were typical at near surface locations. The final or residual strain measured on recovery was usually compressive except at one location where the soil was very powdery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
