Explosive and Drop Testing

When safety is on the line, every millisecond matters. Explosive and drop testing are critical methods used to evaluate how materials, components, and full systems perform under extreme stress. Whether analysing airbag deployment, crash dynamics, or explosive forces, understanding the precise sequence of events is vital for ensuring safety, compliance, and performance.

How Apex Slow Motion Helps

With ultra high-speed Phantom cameras, Apex Slow Motion captures events that unfold faster than the eye can see. Our slow-motion imaging reveals:

  • Airbag Deployment: Detailed inflation timing and sequence analysis.

  • Crash Dynamics: Step-by-step observation of structural deformation.

  • Explosive Forces: Propagation patterns, material responses, and failure points.

  • Impact Studies: Effects of drops, shocks, and collisions on product durability.

These insights provide engineers with the data they need to refine designs, improve safety features, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
