New generation facility for impact testing

该项目旨在开发新一代国家冲击试验设施，以研究民用和机械结构和部件的冲击响应。该项目希望以非常高的速度寻求同步的、现实的影响情景，这在以前是不可能的。这将加强对部件/系统在高幅度撞击下的实时行为进行创新研究的能力，以通过先进材料加强对它们的保护。该项目对于研究合理的设计理念和对高风险建筑、基础设施和装甲车辆进行有效改装至关重要。好处包括通过可靠的冲击测试获得的新知识拯救生命和财产。

This project aims to develop a new generation, national-impact testing facility to study the impact response of civil and mechanical structures and components. This project expects to seek simultaneous, realistic impact scenarios with very high velocities, which were previously impossible. This will enhance the capability for innovative research on real-time behaviour of components/systems under high amplitude impacts to augment their protection through advanced materials. This project is essential for research on rational design philosophies and effective retrofitting of high-risk buildings, infrastructure and armoured vehicles. Benefits include the saving of lives and property through new knowledge from credible impact testing.
