Acquisition of State-of-the-Art High-Speed Video Camera for Capturing Dynamic Deformation under Impact loads
Abstract
In the proposed project, acquired high-speed video camera is to investigate the real-time deformation of military helmet pads, damage evolution of composite materials and crack dynamics of composite materials under impact loading conditions. The unanswered questions of this research are: (i) Is the deformation of novel flocked (through thickness reinforced) energy absorbing materials (FEAM) based padding materials heterogeneous?, (ii) What are the damage initiation mechanisms in flocked composite materials under dynamic loads?, (iii) What are crack-tip velocities and acceleration (if any) in the flocked composites under dynamic loading conditions?, and (iv) How is the real-time deflection of head equipped with military helmets under impact loads?
