About This Item
Full Description
For this program, a Deflagration Load Generator (DLG) test rig was used for these tests. The test rig measured 48 ft. long by 24 ft. deep by 12 ft. tall and had three rigid walls, a rigid roof and floor, and one open wall facing the structure being tested. The test rig is filled with a propane/air mixture and ignited, causing a VCE.
The tests were originally designed to serve multiple purposes:
- Provide data on response of tents to a variety of blast loads ranging from 0.6 to 1.5 psi,
- Identify the failure modes for different types of tents, and
- Obtain data on tent response to support estimates on the vulnerability of tent occupants.
In addition, the VCE deflagrations were set to vent outside the test rig, toward the test articles and the tents were placed at a sufficient range from the test rig such that three test articles could be tested simultaneously on each shot. The test rig was also configured such that the blast loading on the tent could be changed by varying the fuel concentration rather than relocating the test articles.
