TrzcinskiWho?

[edit]

"Trzcinski" is Waldemar A. Trzciński, professor of Chemical Engineering at the Military University of Technology, Warsaw. I believe the information needed is in https://www.researchgate.net/publication/275097604_Thermobaric_and_Enhanced_Blast_Explosives_-_Properties_and_Testing_Methods. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mestre Oda (talkcontribs) 21:29, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance needed

[edit]

Citation 3 is a dead link, and citation 1 seems to link to the wrong paper (Mechanisms of Hearing Loss after Blast Injury to the Ear does not give overpressure/brisance for PLX); Citation 3 could likely be replaced by https://www.msiac.nato.int/sites/default/files/attachments/van_der_voort_et_al._lung_injury.pdf, which appears to give the same equations, though the conclusion drawn implies a known overpressure duration for a PLX detonation. Mechanisms of Hearing... does include a line "While lethal blast pressures for humans are roughly 414–552 kPa," which is 3-5 times larger than the listed overpressure. 73.222.32.139 (talk) 01:17, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
