Computer-Aided Analysis of Flash X-Ray Films

Abstract

The shaped charge jet free-flight experiment is an extremely valuable diagnostic in the shaped charge design process. A semiautomated method is discussed for the digitization of a particulated jet's position and shape from the x-ray film image into electronic storage files, which provides the experimentalist with an efficient basis for data reduction. With the aid of a microcomputer, one can generate a wealth of information concerning the pertinent jet characteristics. Methods of computer-aided digitization of particulated jets and analysis of physical jet characteristics and performance are discussed.
