  • Abstract
    In 2011, investigators at the Georgia Institute of Technology performed a series of experiments and analyses to provide a further understanding of railgun performance as a function of the armature-to-rail interface. In this paper, results of this effort are presented offering insight with respect to interface wear generated using a lab-scale railgun and a gas-gun.
