Design of an Optical Closed Bomb (OCB)

Abstract

In order to provide information on the mechanical behavior of gun propellants during combustion, an Optical Closed Bomb (OCB) has been designed. This fixture is to be used in connection with various visualization techniques such as flash radiography and high speed cinematography. Therefore, the OCB includes some parts made of fiber reinforced composite materials.
