The understanding of the pressure associated with air blast, which travels through air, and its effect on surface and underground structures is highly important. It is necessary to determine the pressure change with time and distance for a computer simulation of the explosion impact on a structure. From the previous studies, many empirical equations for estimating the parameters related to the pressure change. In this study, the empirical equations for predicting peak overpressure, duration of positive phase, impulse, minimum negative pressure, duration of negative pressure, arrival time, and decay constant were reviewed and analyzed. Also, the pressure changes predicted from the Kingery equation, which is the most commonly used, and from the other empirical equations were compared.

Destruction phenomena of structure by gas explosion is due to the explosion pressure and heat. Explosion pressure is a kind of energy converted from the gas mixture explosion. In this paper, we tried to find the relationship between explosion characteristics and combustion heat of the hydrocarbon-oxygen mixtures. Experiment were carried out with the volume of $5916cm^3$ cylindrical explosion vessel. Hydrocarbon gases which used in this study were methane, ethylene, propane, and buthane Experimental parameter was the concentration of the gas mixtures. Explosion characteristics were measured with strain type pressure transducer through the digital storage oscilloscope. From the experimental result, it was found that explosion pressure depend upon the combustion heat.

The Demolition blasting has been applied for buildings and structures so far. In this study, however, a confined vessel blasting filled with water has been focused. A small amount of explosives were placed in a sealed vessel with water, perfect elastic body, supposed as a relay agent in it, and the blasting aspect was observed. Blasting pressure was standardized by Abel's equation of state. In result, if there was a relay agent in it, the pressure vessel was torn apart with smaller power than its tensile strength. If there was not, it needed 7.1~8.5 times as much power as the previous one, and the blasting pressure had not also affected the demolition and it had gone or vanished until it reached a certain point, In terms of pressure vessel made by steel, the elastic-plastic failure was took a place, and the first yield point happened along the welded area as a form of heating plastic failure we thought.

폭발현상(explosion phenomena)이 항상 연소(combustion)를 수반하는 것도 아니고, 연소현상이 항상 폭발적으로 일어나는 것이 아님에도 불구하고 많은 사람들은 폭발과 연소 사이에 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 생각하고 있다. 일반적으로 폭발이라고 하면 우선 큰 소리와 건물이나 실내의 파괴를 연상한다. 폭발 시에 발생하는 큰소리, 이른바 폭발음은 공기 중을 전파하는 압력파(blast wave)에 의한 것이고 건물이나 실내 파괴는 그들의 내부압력 상승에 의한 것이다. 그러므로 폭발현상은 압력상승과 불가분하다고 생각해도 된다.

In order to examine the explosion risk of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, we experimentally studied the explosion limit, explosion pressure, and rate of increase of the explosion pressure at different oxygen concentrations. The lower explosion limit was 3.2% at a temperature of $100^{\circ}C$, and the oxygen concentration was 40 to 70%. The upper explosion limit was 4.5% and the lower explosion limit was 4.0% at an oxygen concentration of 21%.The maximum explosion pressure of 2-ethylhexanoic acid was 1.4161 MPa at an oxygen concentration of 70%, and the rate of increase of the explosion pressure was 62.692 MPa/s at this concentration.

Hydrogen is considered to be the most important future energy carrier in many applications reducing significantly greenhouse gas emissions, but the explosion safety issues associated with hydrogen applications need to be investigated and fully understood to be applicable as the carrier. The risk associated with a explosion depends on an understanding of the impacts of the explosion, particularly the pressure-time history during the explosion. This work provides the effects of explosion parameters, such as specific heat ratio of burned and unburned gas, equilibrium maximum explosion pressure, and burning velocity, on the pressure-time history with flame growth model. The pressure-time history is dominantly depending on the burning velocity and equilibrium maximum explosion pressure of hydrogen-air mixture. The pressure rise rate increase with the burning velocity and equilibrium maximum explosion pressure. The specific heat ratio of unburned gas has more effect on the final explosion pressure increase rate than initial explosion pressure increase rate. However, the specific heat ratio of burned gas has more influence on initial explosion pressure increase rate. The flame speeds are obtained by fitting the experimental data sets. The flame speeds for hydrogen in air based on our experimental data is very low, making a transition from deflagration to detonation in a confined space unlikely under these conditions.

The need to accurate quantification of blast pressure loading in the near field is important because the focus of security design of critical infrastructure, buildings and bridges is for near-field detonations. Incident and reflected pressures for near-field detonations are very difficult to be measured by commercially available pressure transducers due to the high pressure and temperature, which requires a verified and validated computational fluid dynamics code to reasonably predict the near-field pressures and impulses. This paper presents numerical studies to verify and validate a CFD code for calculations of incident and reflected overpressures and impulses. The near field is emphasized and recommendations for mesh sizes to optimally simulate the near-field detonation are provided.

Optimum additive which gets Possible detonation sensitivity and minimum stability has been selected among several additives. It is able to mitigate a chemical reaction without destroying a structure of emulsion. Kinecker has been developed by mixing both matrix and selected additive through a perfect formulation. The detonation pressure is reduced by 40.66%(47.27% by Nitro Dyne's program), and hole pressure by 33.25% and even VOD by 52.88% against currently used emulsion explosives.

가스폭발 시 폭발 압력에 의해 건물의 일부 또는 전체적인 파괴와 함께 외부에 영향을 미치는 영향은 주로 폭풍파의 압력과 고온의 화염이다. 그 중에서도 폭풍압은 건물에서의 가스폭발 시 파열면을 통과한 급격한 압력 방출에 의해 생겨나는 물리적인 현상으로 그 충격은 때에 따라서 구조물을 붕괴시킬 만큼 크다. 폭발에 의해 발생되는 폭풍압에 의한 피해가 크기 때문에 과거부터 폭풍압에 대한 연구가 계속되어 왔다.(중략)

가연성분진을 생산, 가공, 수송하는 과정에서 분진폭발의 위험성은 항상 존재하고 있으며, 일단 분진폭발이 발생하면 인명과 재산상의 피해가 큰 대형사고의 경향을 띄게 되므로, 무엇보다 중요한 과제는 폭발예방대책을 강구하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 분진폭발을 예방하기 위해서는 폭발하한계, 최대폭발압력, 폭발압력상승속도, 최소착화에너지, 최저발화온도 등이 있으며, 이들 특성치는 실험을 통하여 파악하여야 한다.(중략)
