Description
The main goal is to evaluate the energy absorption of a metallic material used as ballistic protection, and evaluate the V50Additional Description
The work will be divided into: a theoretical approach of energy absorption estimation using the existing models found in literature and lab tests, that implies shooting 7.62 projectiles into test plates fixed on the ballistic pendulum, its movement filmed and analysed, using a high-speed camera and motion tracing software.First part of the work will contain a short presentation of the existing ballistic pendulum models, advantages and disadvantages related to energy absorption estimation.
The second one, will be to analyse the video files resulted from the shooting sessions, in order to extract the displacements of different moving parts and particle, used to estimate the energy absorption of materials.
The results from the theoretical approach and measurements have to be compared and conclusions drawn.
