Investigation of the Computer Modeling of the Direct Coupling of High Explosive Energy to the Ground for Surface Tangent--Above TNT Spheres (100-500 Tons). (2002)

Thomsen, Jeffrey M.

The calculational modeling of the initial coupling of impulse and energy to the ground for large yield (100-500 tons) surface tangent-above spherical TNT cratering calculations was investigated. A...

Simulation of Nuclear Underwater Shock Waves Using Planar Sources: An Investigation of Feasibility. (2002)

Thomsen,Jeffrey M., Franzen,Roland R.

Various high explosive and/or propellant sources were assessed for use in the Shock Block nuclear simulation development program. The purpose of this program is to design and engineer a planar source...

Seismic Hard In-Situ Source Test (SHIST) CRALE 1D and 2D Scoping Calculations. (1998)

Koik, Victor E., Rocco, Jim R., Thomsen, Jeffrey M.

SHIST (Seismic Hard rock In-Situ Source Test) was a proposed prototype High Explosive (HE) seismic source function experiment designed to provide a benchmark data set for seismic source function...

A Calculational Parameter Study of Soils Typical of Some ESSEX I Cratering Sites (1998)

Goodrich, Milton F., Bryan, Jon B., Thomsen, Jeffrey M., Snell, Charles M.

The one-dimensional computer calculations described in this report were performed to simulate stress-wave propagation and kinetic energy transfer associated with subsurface cratering detonations in...
