High-Speed, Ballistic, Crash, Drop, Split Hopkinson Bar, Fracture mechanics Testing

ARAMIS 3D High-Speed combines high-speed cameras with the power of the ARAMIS Optical Strain software to measure components at any speed, for high strain rate materials testing, vibration analysis, and impact testing, from thousands to millions of frames per second (fps). Standard ARAMIS high-speed cameras run at 6Kfps and up to 50Kfps, while ultra-high-speed cameras can go up to 5Mfps.

Impact & Crash testing (5K-50K fps) from automotive and aerospace crash tests to sports helmets design requires data acquisition in thousands of FPS. Full-field measurements of acceleration, displacement strains, and buckling with ARAMIS High-Speed can rapidly generate meaningful data for engineers without installing any contact sensors.

Shock & Brittle Fracture (100K-5M fps), including Split-Hopkinson Bar material testing, requires ultra-high acquisition rates of 100K - 5M fps. In this example, a bullet impacts glass, showing strain concentration during the crack propagations (recorded at 1Mfps).
