12 calibre guns and ammunition can be subjected to forensic examination, often there is a need to determine the distance a shot was fired. The article presented a new way to carry out such studies and focused on visualization and the determination of parameters forming a fired, shot cluster. The examination uses a high-speed camera and software for the analysis of the recorded films. As a result of the research dimensions and speed of the creation of a cluster of fired shot were achieved.

Propagation Velocities

The determination of crack propagation velocities can provide valuable information for a better understanding of damage processes of concrete. The spatio-temporal analysis of crack patterns developing at a speed of several hundred meters per second is a rather challenging task. In the paper, a photogrammetric procedure for the determination of crack propagation velocities in concrete specimens using high-speed camera image sequences is presented. A cascaded image sequence processing which starts with the computation of displacement vector fields for a dense pattern of points on the specimen’s surface between consecutive time steps of the image sequence chain has been developed. These surface points are triangulated into a mesh, and as representations of cracks, discontinuities in the displacement vector fields are found by a deformation analysis applied to all triangles of the mesh. Connected components of the deformed triangles are computed using region-growing techniques. Then, the crack tips are determined using principal component analysis. The tips are tracked in the image sequence and the velocities between the time stamps of the images are derived. A major advantage of this method as compared to established techniques is in the fact of its allowing for spatio-temporally resolved, full-field measurements rather than point-wise measurements and that information on crack width can be obtained simultaneously. To validate the experimentation, the authors processed image sequences of tests on four compact-tension specimens performed on a split-Hopkinson tension bar. The images were taken by a high-speed camera at a frame rate of 160,000 images per second. By applying to these datasets the image sequence processing procedure as developed, crack propagation velocities of about 800 m/s were determined with a precision in the order of 50 m/s.

Objectives. Development of a model and carrying out numerical calculations for the cooling of thin jets of Hydrogen and Deuterium as applicable to installations on receiving cryogenic monodisperse targets.Methods. To achieve this purpose, the model of cryogenic jet outflow into the low pressure area was created and using PHOENICS software the temperature change of the surface and the interior of a jet over time for various external parameters is investigated through the numerical method.Result. The dependences of temperature changes of liquid Hydrogen and Deuterium jets along the jet surface and along the radius depending on the jet diameter, speed, initial jet temperature and pressure in the working chamber of installations for receiving cryogenic monodisperse targets were carried out.Conclusion. The principal possibility of creating high-speed cryogenic monodisperse targets is shown. According to the calculations, at input of thin liquid jets of Hydrogen or Deuterium with a speed up to 100 m/s into the working chamber with low pressure, jets at a distance of up to 1 mm do not have time to freeze and can be broken into monodisperse drops. Drops are cooled due to evaporation and become granules. The developed model, the program for determination of parameters of steady monodisperse disintegration of liquid cryogenic streams and results of numerical calculations can be used during creation of units for receiving high-speed cryogenic monodisperse targets.

In recent years, radio-frequency corona igniters have been extensively studied for their capability to ensure an effective ignition also in lean or diluted mixtures. Corona ignition is volumetric, with streamers coming from a star-shaped electrode. During the discharge, many radicals and excited species, able to speed up the combustion onset, are generated. At the same time, corona igniters are able to release a considerable amount of thermal energy inside the combustion chamber. The correct determination of such energy is crucial to evaluate the effectiveness of the ignition. In this work, corona discharge is experimentally evaluated inside an optical vessel. In this apparatus, the released thermal energy is measured by means of pressure-based calorimetry, and at the same time the natural luminosity of the streamers is recorded with a high-speed camera. The goal is to find a relationship between thermal energy release and streamers luminosity. Tests are performed using nitrogen as medium, at different pressure levels inside the vessel. The peak electrode voltage is varied to characterize the igniter behaviour in different operating conditions. The results of this work can be used to quantify the corona ignition capabilities to involve a wide amount of medium while releasing a high amount of thermal energy. A repeatability evaluation of streamer evolution is investigated as well.

Shape Determination

This paper describes external camera-based shape estimation for continuum robots. Continuum robots have a continuous backbone made of sections which bend to produce changes of configuration. A major difficulty with continuum robots is the determination of the robot's shape, as there are no discrete joints. This paper presents a method for shape determination based on machine vision. Using an engineered environment and image processing from a high speed camera, shape determination of a continuum robot is achieved. Experimental results showing the effectiveness of the technique on our Elephant's Trunk Manipulator are presented.
