Scaled distance equations used for estimating peak particle velocity have been developed by some researchers. The most widely used equation among these is the equation developed by Duvall and Fogelson. However, the equation has not exactly estimated the peak particle velocity correctly. In this study, peak particle velocity values were measured by a number of blast tests that were conducted in four different sites by using a vibration meter. Scaled distance values for each blast test were calculated according to the equation proposed by Duvall and Fogelson. Subsequently, a new equation that calculates the scaled distance was proposed. The proposed equation gave more realistic values than the equation proposed by Duvall and Fogelson.

用于估计峰值粒子速度的修正比例距离方程

一些研究人员开发了用于估计峰值粒子速度的缩放距离方程。其中使用最广泛的方程是 Duvall 和 Fogelson 开发的方程。然而，该方程并没有准确地估计出峰值粒子速度。在这项研究中，峰值粒子速度值是通过使用振动计在四个不同地点进行的多次爆炸测试来测量的。根据 Duvall 和 Fogelson 提出的方程计算每次爆炸试验的缩放距离值。随后，提出了计算缩放距离的新方程。所提出的方程给出了比 Duvall 和 Fogelson 提出的方程更现实的值。
