Ultra High-Speed Imaging of Fracture & Crush Tests

The movies show various impact fracture and crush tests performed on ceramic, plexiglass and polycarbonate plates  taken at 5, 2 and 1 million frames per second using the Kirana ultra high speed video camera. The films show the strong potential for exploration of ultra short phenomena of impact fracture and fragmentation using the Kirana ultra high speed video camera.

Incorporating a proprietary hybrid camera sensor, the compact Kirana ultra high speed video camera can deliver high resolution and high speed (up to 5 million frames per second) in a no-compromise design. The full resolution of this video camera is maintained at all speeds. Comprehensive triggering facilities, highly accurate timing control and a wide range of output signals, coupled with a software package, simplifies image capture and analysis. Full remote operation using Ethernet connectivity comes standard enabling the Kirana to be easily integrated into almost any environment. The Kirana offers the performance, ease-of-use and operational flexibility that enables users to record and deliver impressive slow-motion video images in just about any scientific research application.
