Signal Measurement of Projectile Penetration Overload Based on Charge Sensor

Abstract

In modern warfare, in order to destroy the target to largest extent, missile warhead is required to explode after penetrating inside the target, therefore, the measurement of mechanical signal during projectile penetration is critical. This paper studies the dynamic design principle of projectile penetration overload test system based on charge sensor, according to characteristics of steep front and a great number of contained installing structure impulse response, designs the measuring circuit based on charge sensor, conducts detailed theoretical deduction on dynamic model of sensor, charge-amplifier, filter and single conversion differential circuit, and provides theoretical basis for design. In order to more objectively evaluate the dynamic characteristics of this kind of test system, the dynamic uncertainty estimation of charge signal measured by this test system is considered as the standard for evaluating its dynamic characteristics, instead of unflatness of amplitude-frequency characteristic and its width in frequency domain, and the comprehensive evaluation on uncertainty of this test system is realized. In order to improve the measurement accuracy of dynamic test system designed, in this paper, an improved de-noising algorithm based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) is proposed, different low-pass filters are formed on the basis of Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF), de-noising effect of signal with noise is analyzed, and the evaluation indicators of dynamic uncertainty and approximation are established. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed method is verified through experiment.
