Abstrakt: In dynamic experiments diagnosed with radiography and stress gauges, the gauges are often placed adjacent to radio-graphic fiducials, such as Ta foil, which perturbs the stress measurement. We conducted experiments to test the performance of different arrangements of manganin stress gauges and Ta foils. Three different gauge/foil configurations were tested, as well as a solitary gauge as control. Gauge/foil layers were placed between high-density polyethylene (HDPE) discs and impacted by a projectile in a gas gun, a simplification of a dynamic, high explosive experiment configuration. The stress measurements were minimally perturbed when a section of foil was removed near the active element of the gauge, as expected. A follow-up experiment showed that the modification to the foil has minimal impact on the radiographic measurement of the dynamic flow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
