Determination of Transport Packaging Kit Speed before Impact with a Rigid Barrier during Emergency Impact Tests on the Missile Track

Verification of compliance of the transport packaging kit design with the requirements for packages intended for the transport of radioactive materials by air, provides for a collision with a target at a speed of not less than 90 M/s. Confirmation of this basic parameter of the tests should be duplicated by several measurement methods including the use of analog means of film registration. The paper describes an algorithm for determining the speed of the transport packaging kit before impact on the information on the film carrier. The questions connected with the choice of the geometrical scheme of registration and realization of various variants of frame filling are considered. The determination of the linear movement of the transport packaging kit in the shooting plane, the calculation of the scale and frequency of shooting is described. An example of the application of the technique to determine the speed of the transport packaging kit before impact in one of the experiments on the missile track is given.
