: A method of predicting permanent deformation of thin-walled, unstiffened cylindrical shells to external blast loading from charges of high explosives is presented. Empirical relations are derived from a series of firings conducted at Aberdeen Proving Ground against scaled shells. The average deviation between the predicted and the actual blast pressures required for permanent deformation is 12%.
