Description

This data corresponds to work done by Daniel Morrison for a Master of Science degree at the Colorado School of Mines, focused on understanding temperature and time dependencies, and understanding microstructure damage on open-cell, polyurethane foams.

Steps to reproduce

This work was performed using a uni-axial drop tower with two accelerometers attached to the top drop mass surface. The drop mass was a 2.2kg steel plate that measured 6x6inches. It was dropped from a height of .35m on a sample that measured 30x30x12.7mm. Imaging was done with a Photron SA5 fast cam camera at 10,000fps. Accelerometers used in this work were a 200g 10mv/g ICP accelerometer and a 5000g 1mv/g ICP accelerometer. Triggering was done using a laser-gate system connected to a Lecroy Osciloscope. Further information on this experimental design can be found in the paper submitted to Singer, under the same name.
