Crush Gun Impact of Unconfined Explosive with Flat-Faced Projectiles at Nominal Velocity of 60 m/s

A pneumatic gun apparatus was designed and built to deliver crushing impacts at velocities of 0-70 m/s. The apparatus is designed to halt the projectile (if desired) approximately 1 mm before impacting the sapphire imaging surface, preventing a complete “pinch” condition from attaining. The primary diagnostics include high-speed visible videography and infrared imaging to determine spatial temperature rise of the sample during impact.
