Ultrafast laser-induced shock visualization and ballistic impact system for investigating highly nonlinear material dynamics
Abstract
The goal of this project was to acquire an ultrafast laser-induced shock visualization and ballistic impact system. This setup will enable our laboratory to study dynamic material response with significantly higher energies and shorter timescales that our lab previously had access to. In particular, we aim to use this equipment to investigate ultrafast highly nonlinear dynamic material response, including dynamic failure phenomena, in geometrically nonlinear micro- to nanostructured materials, mechanoresponsive polymers, layered soft material systems, and microparticle suspensions.
