SHOCK
SHOCK is computer program that calculates the average peak pressure and impulse from an internal explosion on a user selected area of the wall of rectangular room. The impulse from reflections off adjacent room surfaces is linearly added. This program is older and more simplified than BLASTX. However, it has the advantage that it can average the impulse and peak pressure over many points of a user selected wall area, whereas BLASTX only averages the blast pressure history over a few user defined points. SHOCK is based on blast load prediction curves from TM 5-1300 “Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions.”
