Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration has experimentally determined the explo- sive loading on a unit load device (luggage container) resulting from a bomb detonated within the luggage. A steel test fixture was constructed with the in- ternal dimensions of LD-3 luggage containers, as specified in the I ATA Techni- cal Manual. This test fixture was instrumented with nine Endevco piezoresis- tive and three PCB piezoelectric pressure transducers and eight temperature transducers. Ten tests were conducted using C-4 explosive with locations varying from the top bag to the third bag down into the luggage. Tests were conducted with the fixture 50% full of luggage and repeated with the fixture 75% full of luggage, with the piece of luggage containin
