Gas-Gun Planar Impact Staging Experiments for Flyer Plate Velocity Enhancement.

Abstract

Gas gun impact experiments and computational simulations were performed to investigate a technique for increasing flyer plate velocities. Stainless steel impactors, PMMA and aluminum buffers, and stainless steel flyers were used. Charged contact pins were used to measure impactor and flyer velocities. The velocities of the flyers were on the order of 1.5 times the impactor velocities, in agreement with computational results. (Author)
