X-RAY MULTI-FLASH SYSTEM FOR MEASUREMENT OF PROJECTILE PERFORMANCE AT THE TARGET

Abstract

A new technique using a multi-flash x-ray system has been developed to measure projectile striking velocity, angle of yaw at impact, plastic flow properties at the projectile/target interface, penetration time, and the amount and direction of material emerging from the rear surface of the target.
