Ballistic impact is a high velocity impact by small mass simulation analogous to runway debris or small arms fire. The simulation uses a light gas gun or other ballistic launcher. Ballistic impact loads are necessary to study material response.
Famous quotes containing the word impact:
“The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.”
—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
