Investigation of the Use of a Stereo Cranz-Schardin Camera Having Video Image Sensors to Behind-Panel Fragmentation Studies

摘要

A novel optical diagnostic apparatus for behind-target fragmentation studies was investigated. A simple concept was designed, constructed and tested using gun-fired projectiles. The goal of the work was to demonstrate that measurements of the fragment mass, velocity, and trajectory could be made with a system that requires an absolute minimum of operator intervention. The final report describes the system that was used and includes some data that was obtained from the experiments.
