Comparing pyrometry and thermography in ballistic impact experiments

Theoretical aspects of the integration of thermography and pyrometry methods

Both thermovision and pyrometric measuring are widely used for the control of industrial process thermo modes, the technical service and diagnostics of equipment as well as the works on security and safety provision. The objective of thermovision measuring is the visualization and research of an object thermo field on the basis of temperature gradient identification at defined temperature sensi...

Ballistic Experiments with Titanium and Aluminum Targets

Comparing Transient Simulation with Thermography Time Series

Thermography is an emerging technology used by construction professionals focused upon the thermal and condition performance of buildings. However, the interpretation of thermal images is difficult and often misinterpreted. This paper reports on initial work that compares thermographic images from relatively simple experimental setups with transient models of the same experiment. Thermographic ...

The impact force in the ballistic oscillator

We determine the impact force generated by the projectile penetrating the body of the harmonic oscillator.We discuss the ballistic effect in connection with the Compton effect.

Design, Modeling and Experiments of An In-pipe Magnetostrictive Impact Drive Mechanism

This paper presents a magnetostrictive in-pipe impact drive mechanism (IDM). To estimate the output performances of the IDM, a dynamics model was developed based on the magnetostrictive material constitutive model and mechanical model of the IDM. Therefore, an experimental system has been built to test the motion performance of IDM. Simulation and experimental results illustrate that the propos...
