Abstract

A velocity measurement device was developed to measure the velocity of the striker bar of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) set up. It measures the range of velocity magnitudes for different size of striker bars. The velocity measurement device measures velocity of the striker bar for varying pressure values. The readings were calibrated under freefall, SHPB and also using a ballistic impact testing setup present at the authors facility. The device was developed to produce consistent readings and these readings were tabulated.
