Plate-impact-driven ring expansion test (PIDRET) for dynamic fragmentation

A new experimental set-up mounted at the muzzle of a singlestage gas gun has been designed in order to study the fragmentation of metallic rings under dynamic radial expansion. This concept takes advantage of the quasi-incompressibility of HDPE whose radial flow under plate impact-like loading is us...
