High-speed launching of solid bodies

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Conclusions

The results presented demonstrate that solid body acceleration methods developed at the M. A. Lavrent'ev Hydrodynamics Institute of the Siberian Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR satisfy well the requirements of researchers in both the study of material properties and behavior under extremal loading, and in modeling of meteorite collisions over a narrow range of meteorite velocities. Simple explosive accelerators based on cumulation principles do not fall behind, and in some cases, exceed, the achievements of other methods in controlled physical experiments. Hopes of extending the usable scope to the upper range of meteorite velocities involve development of electromagnetic accelerators, although as the studies performed have shown, one cannot expect rapid or easy achievements here.
