Impulse Density Measurements after the Held Method
The introduction shows the importance of the impulse on damage, if the high explosive amount is smaller than 1000 kg. The impulse density can be really simply measured by the velocity of momentum blocks and their velocities can, without electronical or electrical devices, be simply measured by their horizontal displacements on ground, if the gauges are correctly arranged. The momentum block thickness and its arrangement are presented in this notice.
