Abstract
Methods for high precision transient measurements using simple techniques for instrumentation and target alignment are described. Techniques are discussed in terms of application to a gas gun used to study the response of materials to dynamic loading. Results indicate that tilts of about 0.01° between impacting surfaces, projectile velocity measurements to about 0.1%, and time correlations to within 0.01 μsec are readily obtainable.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
