Hand calculator programs for weapons effects analyses: the physical vulnerability system

Description: The physical vulnerability system for evaluating probable damage from a nuclear blast has received wide acceptance because it is a simple but general system applicable to a wide variety of target classes. A series of hand-calculator programs using this system that permit equally accurate but faster calculations than the conventional handbook method are described. The programs cover various interrelationships among peak overpressures, peak dynamic pressures, vulnerability numbers, weapons radii,… more
