Accuracy and Position Requirements of Reverse Ballistic Experiments of Rod Penetration into SiC-Ceramic to Detect the Effect of Failure Kinetics in Ceramics
Abstract
A new set of reverse ballistic experiments has been designed to overcome uncertainties in the interpretation of experimental data of two independent data sets that suggest the existence of a so--called "failure wave" for penetration into SiC-ceramics. The possible detection of such a phenomenon requires very high accuracy in experimental measurements. The accuracy and position requirements for the new experiments together with the experimental design are reported here.
