Development of a novel method to characterize shock waves interaction with solid objects

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Nuclear explosion in a densely populated area is the worst that can happen to any country in the world due to enormous loss of life, property and severe economic damage. Nuclear explosions immediately cause radiological damage and destruction of infrastructure. This hydro-magnetic shock propagation due to blast gives rise to simultaneous signals around the world. The effect of shockwave from nuclear explosion is an area that can be used to handle post and pre-disaster from nuclear explosion. This study focuses on the effects of shockwave on solid objects oriented in different formation. Experiments conducted in a horizontally placed shock tube and a solid object holder on the floor of the test section. These solid objects placed inside the test section of a shock tube collided with a planner shock wave which was generated by rupturing a diaphragm of different thickness. Four high speed pressure transducers strategically placed at different locations of this shock tube were used to characterize the blasts as well as interaction with the samples. A high-speed Kronos and Phantom camera were used to record the exact moment of interaction to characterize the solid objects under the impact of different shock waves. Representative results of these experiments are reported here along with review of previous work done in this area.

Award: THE MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (MSIPP) IS A VITAL PROGRAM WITHIN THE DOE/NNSA MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, LEARNING AND CAREER MANAGEMENT WHICH AWARDS GRANTS TO MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS (MSI) TO PREPARE NNSA’S NEXT-GENERATION TECHNICAL WORKFORCE. MSIPP ALIGNS INVESTMENTS IN UNIVERSITY CAPACITY AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WITH DOE/NNSA MISSION AREAS TO DEVELOP THE NEEDED SKILLS AND TALENT FOR DOE/NNSA’S ENDURING TECHNICAL WORKFORCE AND TO ENHANCE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION AT MSIS. THE PROGRAM’S PRIMARY MISSION IS TO CREATE AND FOSTER A SUSTAINABLE STEM-PIPELINE THAT PREPARES A DIVERSE WORKFORCE OF WORLD CLASS TALENT THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS AND THE DOE/NNSA ENTERPRISE. TO EXECUTE THIS MISSION, MSIPP BUILDS A NETWORK OF NSE READY STUDENTS THROUGH ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES FROM K-20 TO POST-DOCTORAL LEVEL. THROUGH UNIVERSITY-LAB CONSORTIA PARTNERSHIPS STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH AND ACTIVITIES IN THEIR RELEVANT FIELDS. THE FOLLOWING MSIPP CRUCIAL SUCCESS FACTORS ARE TO: 1. STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND MSI STEM CAPACITY AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE IN DOE/NNSA MISSION AREAS OF INTEREST. 2. TARGET COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN MSIS AND DOE/NNSA LABORATORIES AND PLANTS THAT INCREASE SCIENTIST-TO-SCIENTIST INTERACTIONS, VISIBLE PARTICIPATION OF MSI FACULTY IN DOE/NNSA TECHNICAL ENGAGEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES AND PROVIDE MSIS DIRECT ACCESS TO DOE/NNSA FACILITIES RELATIVE TO STEM. 3. GROW THE NUMBER OF MINORITY STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE WITH STEM DEGREES. 4. GROW THE NUMBER OF MINORITY GRADUATES AND POST-DOCTORAL STUDENTS HIRED IN TO DOE/NNSA'S STEM WORKFORCE.
