Abstract
The paper briefly summarizes the results of measuring unsteady drag forces acting on a sphere, an ellipsoid, and cones upon impingement of blast waves generated by exploding 100 mg of PETN. In addition, the unsteady drag force acting on these bodies, while been placed in a blast wave simulator that can load planar shock waves having pressure profiles similar to those created by small scale explosions.
