A Photographic Study Of The Infrared Oh Airglow, G. C. Loos Dec 1973

A Photographic Study Of The Infrared Oh Airglow, G. C. Loos

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

OH airglow is due to the rotational-vibrational transitions of the hydroxyl radical. Previous efforts to find the airglow's emission height in the atmosphere are discussed. Photography of the infrared airglow with a fast 35mm camera and Eastman Kodak high speed infrared film is described and a method for triangulating emission heights by two station photography is explained. The techniques for reduction of film data to height measurements and velocity measurements are presented. Observations are reported concerning the frequency of occurrence of bright spots and other features on the OH background and the intensity of the airglow as a function of …


Dynamic Impulse Calibration Of Sheet Loaded Explosive, William James Johnson May 1973

Dynamic Impulse Calibration Of Sheet Loaded Explosive, William James Johnson

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

In the past, experimenters have used Sheet Loaded Explosive (SLE) to simulate the damage caused by x-rays to an ICBM as the result of a nuclear burst from an ABM. One of the attractive features of SLE is that it can also provide high impul3e levels for structural damage studies. Previous measurements of the usual shock parameters such as peak overpressure, ietonation velocity, and shock front definition with short time interval pressure transducers were not suitable for total impulse measurements. The High Explosive Impulse Responder (HEIR) was developed to fill the need for a simple, reliable and economical total impulse …
