Editing Misnay–Schardin effect (section)

== Description ==
Explosive blasts expand directly away from, and [[perpendicular]] to, the surface of an explosive. Unlike the blast from a rounded explosive charge, which expands in all directions, the blast produced by an explosive sheet expands primarily perpendicular to its plane, in both directions. However, if one side is backed by a heavy or fixed mass, most of the blast (i.e. most of the rapidly expanding gas and its kinetic energy) will be reflected in the direction away from the mass.<ref>''Practical Bomb Scene Investigation'', James T.
