Evaluation of blast pressure measurements

Digitized data curves from transient recorders and the easily available computer capacity make a more effective blast evaluation possible. Because no ideal blast pressure-transducer is available analytical methods have been collected to overcome some operational problems with blast gages. Summing up those ideas an interactive, computer-aided procedure is proposed to evaluate pressure-time histories and to get sets of consistent blast data for planar, cylindrical and spherical blastwaves.
