Wise, J L; Kipp, M E

A laser velocity interferometer system (VISAR) has generated records of free-surface particle velocity for target assemblies incorporating alumina, boron carbide, titanium diboride, and steel plates that were subjected to impact loading by small scale, long-rod penetrators fabricated from a tungsten alloy. The measured particle-velocity data have been compared to calculational results obtained with a multidimensional wave-propagation code (CTH). 5 refs., 6 figs., 3 tabs.
