“…One pressuretime curve was not from an 81-mm mortar, but rather from a 60-mm mortar (ref. 4), as the maximum gun-launch pressure was known to be similar and represent a conservative upper bound. A second pressure-time curve was reconstructed from data on a zone 4 charge fired in an 81-mm mortar at 21 °C (ref.…”

“…The shell body was modeled as HF-1 steel with assumed yield strength of 552 MPa (ref. 4). The material properties of the fuze and composition B were estimated and included for weight and stiffness.…”

“…The fracture toughness was assumed to be 21-MPaVm (ref. 4) for the HF-1 material. The starting point for the estimated flaw size was chosen as a relatively small number, 0.001.…”
