Résumé du livre
Hydrostatic shock tests were performed on mass loaded ceramic rings and discs. The ceramic compositions tested were EC-55, EC-64, EC-65 and EC-69. The hydrostatic shock to which the mass loaded transducers were subjected originated from an underwater detonation. These tests were conducted in open water to simulate the actual operating conditions of the transducers. The results from these tests have indicated the effects of environmental conditions and mass loading on the behavioral characteristics of the ceramics under hydrostatic shocks.
