to illum<strong>in</strong>ate the work<strong>in</strong>g area [ 5,6 ]. The light area was produced by widen<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

laser beam with a cyl<strong>in</strong>drical lens. The <strong>impact</strong> event was recorded with a digital<br />

video camera and transferred <strong>in</strong>to a PC. The video images were then decomposed<br />

<strong>in</strong>to <strong>in</strong>dividual frames with software. A calibration procedure was carried out to<br />

elim<strong>in</strong>ate any distortions.<br />

Figure 2 shows the particle accelerator, which was specially developed by<br />

SIVUS GmbH at Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany, for the<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>ation of dynamic <strong>coefficients</strong>. The particles leave the feed<strong>in</strong>g system<br />

and enter the particle accelerator (a rotat<strong>in</strong>g disk). This accelerator permits a<br />

precise evaluation of the collision variables. A centrifugal force drives particles<br />

through the channels of the accelerat<strong>in</strong>g disk that is set <strong>in</strong> rotation by a<br />

circulat<strong>in</strong>g belt [ 5,7 ]. Be<strong>in</strong>g pushed by the centrifugal force, the particles move<br />

towards a target that can be fixed at a correspond<strong>in</strong>g angle onto a bracket of the<br />

cover. Therefore the particles outlet has a fixed spatial position and a negligible<br />

rotation.<br />

Steel and ceramic–metal composites (cermets) of different composition were<br />

used as target materials. Composition of the tested materials and hardness ratio of<br />

the material and glass particles (HV = 540) are listed <strong>in</strong> Table 1.<br />
