Testing of a transportation and storage container model

Abstract

The article describes drop-, impact-, and fire tests of a transportation and storage container model during dropping from heights of 9.2 and 1.25 m onto a rigid base and a steel pin, respectively, as well as under an impact of the engine simulator of a military jet fighter with a speed of about 215 m/s. Drop tests were additionally performed using a cooled model casing. The main estimated and measured impact parameters are given. Defect detection and post-test check-up results are presented.
