IMPACT TEST STAND Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G01M7/08 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: stand has a launcher in whose shaft of which there is a hammer and a target placed at a given distance from the shaft at a given striking angle from the hammer. The stand is fitted with sensors for detecting the moment of passage of the front surface of the muzzle and the moment the hammer collides with the target. At the outlet of the shaft there is a platform and a film-type diaphragm. The shaft is made with possibility of evacuation of the section between the hammer and the film-type diaphragm. The hammer if fitted with a chopper behind, where the total length of the chopper and the hammer is greater than the distance from the muzzle to the target which is mounted on the platform by easily broken connections whose length can be adjusted.
