This week, our hypervelocity researchers at HVIL performed their 200th hypervelocity impact test at the TAMU HVIL utilizing the recently developed multi-projectile impact technique. We celebrate the team’s dedication to cutting edge research and the body of experience we have developed through years of experimentation.
The HVIL team made an important leap forward today with its first successful target impact with a multiple-projectile package. Looking forward, we expect to broadening the scope of our projectiles further by widening the spectrum of projectile sizes and materials available for testing.
Max is an incoming mechanical engineering PhD student at Texas A&M. Welcome to the HVIL team! Max’s full bio can be found here.
Today, HVIL finished installation of the new 450 kV, dual-head flash X-ray system. This new system will greatly improve our ability to perform in-situ hypervelocity impact damage characterization.
HVIL celebrates an exciting milestone of 100 hypervelocity impact experiments!
Joseph is joining HVIL as a graduate research after graduating with his bachelor’s from Texas A&M University. We are glad you are joining our team! See his full bio here.
