Attempts to characterize microballoon sensors for shock velocity and material motion studies

OSTI ID:5814405
Optimization of performance of gas filled microballoons mounted on optical fibers as sensors for shock and material motion studies, was attempted by variation of several parameters. In some cases, results were not predictable and, in general, results were not as reproductible as desired. Change of some parameters caused little effect but effects of the sleeve size and sleeve material seem to be significant. Recorded shape of optical spectra match black-body temperature of 8000/sup 0/K when argon filled balloons were impacted with projectiles with velocity of 1 km/s, in close agreement with expected values based on ideal gas calculations. 3 refs., 10 figs.
