Fundamental to the ability to monitor a Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty is a good understanding of the nuclear explosion source. Considerable research has been done on the nuclear explosion source over the past 30 years, with mixed success. Although empirical and numerical models of explosion sources do a fairly good job of matching observed seismic signals, a good explanation of the phys...

In research or experimental works related to blast loads, the amount of explosion material and distance of explosion point are very important. So, in this paper has been attempted to present a parametric study of the reactive powder concrete subjected to blast load. The effect of the different amount of TNT adopted the literature, distance of explosion point from RPC slab and also the location ...

the history of five thousand years of human civilization (with only 292 years with no war) and the experiencesof the past two decades of our country shows that the enemies’ approach is based on strong air attack just inthe first month, and civilians bombarding begins if the spirit of national defense continues after two weeks.so the buildings in the cities are damaged in different ways by the a...

Computing has been an enormous accelerator to science and it has led to an information explosion in many different fields. Future advances in science depend on the ability to comprehend these vast amounts of data. In this paper, we discuss challenges and opportunities for social data analysis in the scientific domain.

Model-generation based theorem provers such as SATCHMO and MGTP suffer from a combinatorial explosion of the search space caused by clauses irrelevant to the goal (negative clause) to be solved. To avoid this, two typical methods have been proposed. One is relevancy testing implemented in SATCHMORE by Loveland et al., and the other is non-Horn magic sets that are the extension of Horn magic set...

The flameproof enclosure type of protection is still one the safest because it based on a very simple and, therefore, unlikely fallible technology. If an explosive atmosphere penetrates producing trigger, explosion occurs, but remains confined within enclosure. EN 60079-1 standard, states that flanged flame paths are allowed in presence gases and vapours Group IIB, cannot be used with IIC. Also...

Investigation of the ignition behavior (minimum ignition temperature (MIT)) of hybrid mixtures of dusts and gases has been undertaken. This was achieved by performing series of test in the modified Godbert-Greenwald furnace. The materials used are, gases (methane, propane and hydrogen) and dust (starch, lycopodium, toner, wood and CN4 (mixture of bituminous and brown coal)). The test protocol f...

Shock waves are one of the primary damage parameters an ammunition explosion. Therefore, accurately obtaining shock wave pressure distribution law after explosion is greatly significant for power evaluation and guidance selection in operations course. This study established mapping function between surface reflected free-field pressures, considering altitude effect on pressure. Finite element n...
