Shocked-Specimen Soft Recovery System for Dynamic Fracture Studies.
Abstract
A system that permits the soft recovery of specimens shock-loaded with a gas gun has been designed and put in operation. The recovered specimens are used for metallurgical examination in studies of dynamic fracture processes. The function of the system is to separate the impacting projectile from the impacted specimen to prevent subsequent specimen damage. The system has been tested for projectile velocities up to 1050 ft/sec. This velocity range is adequate for studies of microscopic spall fracture.
