Debris Field Kinetics during the Dynamic Fragmentation of Polyphase Natural Ceramic Blocks: Ejecta Measurements and Damage Modes
Download2013
Hogan, James, Schneider, Markus, Rogers, Robert, Spray, John, Vincent, Gregory
The dynamic fragmentation of coarse and fine grained granitoid blocks during impact has been examined for energies of 1.9 kJ to 3.0 kJ and 2.7 kJ to 6.8 kJ, respectively. A particle tracking algorithm was developed to measure ejecta size and velocity at the rear of the target for a horizontal...

Dynamic Fragmentation of Natural Ceramic Tiles: Ejecta Measurements and Kinetic Consequences
Download2013
Vincent, Gregory, Rogers, Robert, Spray, John, Schneider, Markus, Hogan, James
Velocity and size measurements of ejecta derived from impacts of railgun-launched projectiles into 10 mm thick gabbro tiles are examined. Fragmentation of the target and the ejecta velocity field are found to be governed by Hertzian fracture and the transfer of kinetic energy to the target. Over...

Dynamic Fragmentation of Planetary Materials: Sub-Hypervelocity Ejecta Measurements and Velocity Scaling during Impact Testing
Download2013-01-01
Hogan, James, Vincent, Gregory, Spray, John, Rogers, Robert, Schneider, Markus
Ejecta velocity measurements were made during impacts into solid planetary materials. Ejecta velocity fields overlie each other when normalized by vmax, v50%mass, and v50%KE; these correspond to the maximum velocity and median values of mass and kinetic energy among ejecta velocities....

Impact Failure of Planetary Materials: Lateral Field Ejecta Measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry
Download2014
Schneider, Markus, Spray, John, Rogers, Robert, Hogan, James, Vincent, Gregory
The dynamic fragmentation of a fine grained granitoid material has been examined. Target thicknesses ranged from 7 to 40 mm and impact energies from 12 to 2,500 J. Combined particle image velocimetry and image enhancement techniques are introduced and have been used to measure the size and...

Self‐consistent electron acceleration due to inertial Alfvén wave pulsesournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 110(A10), [pp

Watt, Clare E. J., Wright, D. M. , Rankin, Robert, Rae, I. Jonathan
We present self-consistent kinetic simulations of the electron response to finite duration shear Alfven wave pulses in a magnetized plasma. In Earth's magnetosphere, the evidence suggests that parallel electric fields in inertial scale shear Alfven waves can accelerate electrons in the...
