Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A new generation image converter, the ULTRANAC is about to become available. We have appraised a pre-production version and found it to be a far more versatile and useful camera than currently available image converter cameras for both ultra high speed and low speed application. It has all of the standard advantages or present image converter cameras in terms of ability to synchronisse from the event, portability and ability to observe low light level events etc but has additionally a significantly superior resolution and the ability to computer control individual exposure times and frame intervals. Our application gives a full technical evaluation. The camera would allow us to improve our high resolution, high speed moire photography of dynamic events: a technique developed on a recent SERC contract. We also propose using the camera for studies of (I) high speed liquid jet formation, (ii) liquid impact, (iii) ballistic impact of ceramics, polymers and composites, (iv) dynamic KIc fracture studies, and (v) explosive intitiation. In particular, we describe projects where the full capabilities of the ULTRANAC camera would be exploited. We will continue to maintain close contact with the manufacturers so that further improvements can be incorporated.
