An efficient method for continuous measurement of projectile motion in ballistic impact experiments

Ballistic impact response of laminated composite panels

“…These included a highspeed X-ray IMAcon (I MAX), a Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) and Enhanced Laser Velocity Sensor (ELVS) [11]. BFS was determined from projectile displacement using the ELVS and VISAR data.…”

A numerical investigation of the influence of friction on energy absorption by a high-strength fabric subjected to ballistic impact

“…Recently, Starratt et al [10] reported that they have developed a method for continuous measurement of projectile velocities n(t) in ballistic impact experiments. The loss of projectile kinetic energy as a function of time t is described by…”

Laser-based large detection area speed measurement methods and systems

“…is required in defense industry [1][2][3]. There are various speed measurement systems and methods [1][2][3]5,6]. Optical methods are frequently used in these methods [1,3,[7][8][9]11].…”

“…There are various speed measurement systems and methods [1][2][3]5,6]. Optical methods are frequently used in these methods [1,3,[7][8][9]11]. The fundamentals of optical systems are the light barriers.…”
