THE EFFECTS OF SPRAY PARTICLES FROM THE PENETRATION OF THIN TARGETS BY HYPERVELOCITY PARTICLES

Abstract

When a thin bumper target is impacted by a hypervelocity particle, a spray of particles is produced. Data are presented on the penetration of these spray particles into a witness plate for various bumper and witness plate materials, spacings, and bumper thicknesses. The exploding foil projection technique and associated diagnostics are also described.
