A table for experimental study of mechanoluminescent pulse pressure transducers

The procedure and results of experimental study of mechanoluminescent pressure transducers converting mechanical stress into an optical signal are described. A prototype of the mechanoluminescent pulse pressure transducer and a mechanical shock table for laboratory study of it are presented. The developed table allows one not only to fix and evaluate the output luminous flux of the transducer, but also to quantitatively determine the mechanical loading value. Comparison of recorded oscillograms of energy-emittance pulses of the transducer and results of numerical calculations demonstrates the adequacy of the used mathematical model of mechanoluminescent conversion.
