Burst testing is used for materials selection, materials optimization, materials research, and safety concern and design verification. In burst testing a high speed rotating machinery store huge amounts of kinetic energy, which is released upon burst of one or more of its components. The burst testing should be done to avoid the liberated projectile that penetrates machine housing and pose a significant threat to personnel. A typical burst-containment test involves a spinning disk, a properly supported containment structure, high-speed video, witness rings and other instrumentation needed to quantify the event.
