This video demonstrates a digital image correlation (DIC) test using three i-SPEED high-speed cameras to capture the moment a bullet impacts bulletproof material. The front view, captured with the i-SPEED 508 camera at 20,000 fps and 840x474 resolution, showcases the bullet entering the material with remarkable clarity. The rear view, recorded with two i-SPEED 727 slow-motion cameras at 30,000 fps and 900x900 resolution, provides a detailed look at the stress and deformation from the impact.
All i-SPEED cameras in this setup are equipped with AST (Advanced Sensor Technology), featuring a 13.5 µm pixel size and full 12-bit dynamic range. This optimized technology delivers high-resolution images with exceptional clarity, ensuring accurate data capture of fine details like stress distribution, material deformation, and impact dynamics. The i-SPEED cameras’ advanced capabilities make them essential tools for analyzing material resilience under extreme forces.
