A Hypervelocity Impact Facilities Based on Double-Barreled Two-Stage Light Gas Gun

Abstract:

For almost all materials the hypervelocity regime has been reached when the impact speed above 2 km/s. A double-barreled two-stage light gas gun (TSLGG) system used for the hypervelocity impact tests is described. The proposed TSLGG can accelerate 50 g projectile masses up to velocities of 2.2 km/s. The craters produced with this equipment reach a diameter of up to 20 cm, a size unique in laboratory cratering research. The experiment results show our TSLGG system work effectively, velocity of the projectile mass is measured highly accurate by means of the proposed optical method.
