Characteristics of Fragments: Chapter IVMethods used to estimate initial fragment velocities from various types of accidental explosions, geometry of vessel, or explosion source are reported. In addition, fragmentation ranges and impact conditions, using initial velocities as inputs, are discussed. Several classes of accidental explosions and fragment mass distribution predicted by statistical methods are included. Computer program techniques are summarized.
