Abstract

For the most complete study of the laws of shock interaction of solids with soil barriers, further development of experimental techniques for recording the parameters of the interaction process in direct and inverse experiments is necessary. In this work, to determine the parameters of the movement of the projectile (displacement and speed) in a direct experiment, a millimeter-wave radio interferometer is used. This method allows continuous recording of the movement of the rear end of the striker with high accuracy over a wide range of movements. Using the proposed technique, experiments were carried out to record the motion parameters of cylindrical impactors made of steel and aluminum alloy when interacting with an obstacle made of dry sand. At the same time, the movement of the rear end of the striker was also controlled using high-speed filming until the full immersion of the striker. The experiments showed that the measurement results obtained using two methods coincide within the measurement error. Based on the experiments, it can be concluded that the methodology for determining the displacement and velocity of a projectile in a ballistic experiment using a millimeter-wave radio interferometer allows continuous measurement of large displacements (100 mm or more), including when completely immersed in a target with sufficient practical goals accuracy. Based on the results of the experiments, the dependences of the movement of the projectile and its speed on time are constructed. A change in the penetration law was found with a decrease in the penetration velocity to values less than 100 m/s.
