Description: This data repository contains all required information to replicate the Image-Based Inertial Impact (IBII) test method described in the associated report listed above.

Included Files:
The attached zip files are numbered and contain the following:
1.	Design drawing for the gas gun impact rig, specimen holder and other experimental components
2.	Simulink model used for the gas gun design
3.	Labview program for controlling the gas gun pneumatics and Arduino code for projectile speed measurement and triggering the flash
4.	Postscript files for producing printed grids of various pitches
5.	Matlab programs for analysing grid sampling and out of plane movement tests
6.	Example images of printed grids taken with the Shimadzu HPV-X camera for comparison during set up.
7.	Matlab programs for analysing IBII test data including: the main IBII processing code; a program for producing deformed grids from finite element data; and a program for running smoothing parameter sweeps.
