Principles and Techniques of Ultrasonic Inspection (open access)

Principles and Techniques of Ultrasonic Inspection

Ultrasonic inspection for subsurface flaws is widely used in American industry. This report reviews the general principles and specific techniques of ultrasonic testing. The information is based on a review of the technical literature plus the experience of the Quality Assurance Department at Sandia Corporation in applying this nondestructive testing technique to quality evaluation programs.

The Shape of a Shock Wave Derived from a Spherical Shock Wave Incident on a Concave Wedge (open access)

The Shape of a Shock Wave Derived from a Spherical Shock Wave Incident on a Concave Wedge

When a one-half ounce spherical charge of high explosive is detonated over a flat plane bounded by a 5 degree incline, the type of phenomenon encountered depends on the distance from ground zero to a beginning of the incline. If this distance is 48" the wave assumes a smooth contour on the plane. Detailed investigation of the shock velocity above the plane reveals that there is a pressure gradient along the shock front for a considerable region which replaces the usual triple point.
