Soft capture of 'shrapnel' in foams

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Stephen Walley .

To fully understand the damage potential of fragments from bomb and shell casings, it is necessary to capture them in their in-flight condition. This means they must be slowed from several times the speed of sound without further break-up or distortion. A new compaction model for stopping these high-velocity strips of metal in foamed or exfoliated material has been developed and found to match experimental data.

This talk is part of the Physics and Chemistry of Solids Group series.
