An Experimental Validation on Mechanical Damages Caused by Air Cannon Projectile

The main objective of this paper is to study the damages caused by mechanical shocks for different materials and compare between the expiremental and simulation results. The study is based on series of experiments conducted on test bench that has been modified to comply with the experiments. Wherein, many equipment have been designed and manufactured in the laboratory. The shocks are created by Air Canon with different pressure values. The obtained results have provided a conclusive remarks about the shape and dimension of the damages with consideration of the material, speed, and angle of the shock.
