Tailoring the Blast Exposure Conditions in the Shock Tube for Generating Pure, Primary Shock Waves: The End Plate Facilitates Elimination of Secondary Loading of the Specimen - Fig 2

Peak overpressure inside of the shock tube as a function of sensor location and membrane thickness: A) 0.02”, B) 0.04”, and C) 0.06”. Peak overpressure values averaged among experiments preformed using the same Mylar membrane thickness (D): differences of average BOPs for sensors C1 and T4 are not statistically significant (marked with ampersand &, p > 0.05) in respective test groups.
