From: Anisotropy and Strain Localization in Dynamic Impact Experiments of Tantalum Single Crystals

Schematic drawings of the Taylor impact experimental setup. (a) Single crystal tantalum projectiles with a diameter of 6.35 mm and a length of 38.1 mm are shot against the rigid surface at various velocities. (b) Gas gun experimental set up at Los Alamos National Laboratory. (c) Side and foot profiles of deformed polycrystalline tantalum projectile impacted at 146.1 m/s.
