Study of fuel-air explosive weapon power evaluation indexes

This paper, after classifying and evaluating the existing evaluation methods of the power of Fuel-Air Explosive Weapons, considering comprehensively various explosion effects and the properties of the explosion field of FAE weapons and at the same time not ignoring the principle of being scientific and practical ,puts forward a new method of evaluating the self-power of FAE weapons. Researches indicate that the method of using two indexes ,that is ,FAE detonation energy and generalized TNT equivalence, to evaluate the self-power of FAE weapons can reflect comprehensively the properties of the explosion field . The method can also be used to compare the power between FAE weapons and that between FAE weapons and HE weapons . So the new evaluation method can be widely used.
