OBSERVATIONS OF CRATER GROWTH IN WAX,

Abstract

Radiographic observations of crater growth in wax under hypervelocity impact conditions are reported. At an impact velocity of 4km/sec, craters reached their maximum depth in about two hundred microseconds and subsequently rebounded to 60% of their maximum depth. (Author)
