Abstract
The blast wave patterns from the explosion of cylindrical charges are very complex and the pressureβtime histories exhibit multiple shocks. The accurate assessment of the blast wave parameters (positive peak overpressure, duration, and the positive impulse) thus is not a simple task. In this paper a simple system is described for studying the blast waves from the explosion of small cylindrical charges together with comprehensive methods to analyse the experimental results. The assessment of the nearβfield/farβfield behaviour also has been studied.

## Abstract Although the science of blast overpressure is well understood there are major difficulties in obtaining accurate values for peak overpressure, positive duration, and positive impulse. These parameters are required to assess damage potential of blast overpressures. This paper describes t
