STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss.—ERDC Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) personnel recently participated in the NASA-sponsored E-1 Test Facility Blast/Acoustic Effect Mitigation Tools study.
The study’s goal is to develop methods to numerically simulate and physically mitigate the blast effects produced by an accidental explosion during rocket engine testing conducted at NASA’s Stennis Space Center, Miss.
In support of the study, GSL personnel served on an inter-agency team of scientists and engineers. The study successfully developed methods to numerically model the blast field from an accidental rocket engine explosion, and designed and demonstrated concepts to mitigate the adverse effects of the resulting blast pressures to critical rocket engine components.
