Particulate Meso-scale Mechanics Diagnostics: Magnetic Sensors for Dynamic State Orientation

Abstract

This program was successful in producing a state-of-the art capability, resulting in the development and implementation of the following: A unique horizontal/vertical precision-ballistics gun system, multiple wave mechanics diagnostics, and two experimental configurations were developed and employed in this research. The diagnostics developed and implemented include a redundant induction-coil system, B-dot (rate change of magnetic field) sensor coils and analysis system for dynamic 5DOF state measurement, a network of flush-mounted surface pressure gages (initial size of phi 6.35 mm, final size phi 1.26 mm), fiber optic break wires, colored particulate mechanics layering method, chemical fixing/sectioning of target, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) particle analysis techniques. This document captures details of the last year (of a three year effort) with an Executive Summary covering the early years and tying the efforts together.
