Clair Stuart Kelley

US Patent:

43084494, Dec 29, 1981

Filed:

Jul 26, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/928219

Inventors:

Clair S. Kelley - Reston VA

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC

International Classification:

G06G 102

US Classification:

235 70A

Abstract:

A calculational aid is provided, in the form of a slide rule, to facilitate calculation of damages inflicted by a nuclear detonation. The particular apparatus permits calculation of the effects of an air blast, due to static overpressure, resulting from such a detonation. Appropriate scales, properly spaced in particular relationships, are provided on a slide rule, thus providing a means for performing the calculational functions described above. The calculations utilize five parameters, and the present invention provides an apparatus for determining any one of the five parameters once the other four are known.

International Classification:

US Classification:

235 70A

Abstract:

A calculational aid is provided, in the form of a slide rule, to facilitate alculation of probable damage inflicted by a nuclear detonation. The particular apparatus permits calculation of any one or more of several damage-causing environments induced by nuclear detonations, and the consequential probability of damage resulting from such a detonation caused by the particularly calculated environment. Appropriate scales, properly spaced in particular relationships, are provided on a slide rule, thus providing a means for performing the calculational functions described above. Each of the possible environment-related damage calculations utilizes five parameters, and the present invention provides an apparatus for determining any one of the five parameters once the other four are known.
