Determining the Threshold of Detection of a Minimal Specific Weight of Particles in the Study of Shock-Wave Dusting of Surfaces of Materials

摘要

Particles are discharged from surfaces of materials under a shock-wave load. Experimental results on determining the minimal values of a specific weight of particles with which their velocity can be detected using a heterodyne interferometer [photon Doppler velocimetry (PDV) method] are presented. An effect of multiple frequency shift of a Doppler signal in the case of laser radiation being reflected from surfaces of materials and a semitransparent layer of dust particles is described.
