Application Note: Imaging Hypervelocity Impacts for Aerospace Safety

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
PUYBRUN, France, Nov. 6, 2015 — Study of hypervelocity impacts could aid development of housings that protect airplanes and satellites from flying debris. Researchers at the Thiot Ingenierie Shock Physics Laboratory been studying such impacts in superslow motion with the help of a SIM8 ultrafast CCD framing camera from Specialised Imaging Ltd. of Tring, England. Experiments involved firing aluminum spheres at 4000 m/s against an aluminum target using a fixed two-stage light gas gun. The flight of an aluminum pellet fired at 4000 m/s at an aluminum target is captured at 200,000 fps. Courtesy of...Read full article
