Usage Examples English
  • A shock wave can be created when fluid is rapidly displaced by an explosive or projectile.
  • The decomposition is propagated by a flame front (deflagration) which travels much more slowly through the explosive material than a shock wave of a high explosive.
  • This overlay of all the waves produces a shock wave which for sound waves is known as a sonic boom.
  • Cavitation plays an important role for the destruction of kidney stones in shock wave lithotripsy.
  • As the shock wave decays, the shocked region decompresses towards more usual pressures and densities.

  • When a torpedo with a contact fuze strikes the side of the target hull, the resulting explosion creates a bubble of expanding gas, the walls of which move faster than the speed of sound in water, thus creating a shock wave.
  • The air burst inflicted over 1,200 injuries, mainly from broken glass falling from windows shattered by its shock wave.
  • As the shock wave passes the circumstellar ring it will trace the history of mass loss of the supernova's progenitor and provide useful information for discriminating among various models for the progenitor of SN 1987A.
  • When a charged particle does that in a dielectric material, the electromagnetic equivalent of a shock wave, known as Cherenkov radiation, is emitted.
  • On 12 November 2001, about 6,600 of the photomultiplier tubes (costing about $3000 each) in the Super-Kamiokande detector imploded, apparently in a chain reaction or cascading failure, as the shock wave from the concussion of each imploding tube cracked its neighbours.

  • This drives an expanding shock wave into the surrounding interstellar medium, sweeping up an expanding shell of gas and dust observed as a supernova remnant.
  • At low supersonic speeds a normal (plane) shock wave forms in front of the inlet.
  • Some applications of PVDF are pressure sensors, hydrophones, and shock wave sensors.
  • This appeared to be due to a new type of mine, detecting ships by their proximity to the mine (an influence mine) and detonating at a distance, causing damage with the shock wave of the explosion.
  • The distorted body acts as if it were in a quasistatic regime, and only a changing force (nonzero jerk) can cause propagation of mechanical waves (or electromagnetic waves for a charged particle); therefore, for nonzero to high jerk, a shock wave and its propagation through the body should be considered.

  • For example, the levels of ionizing radiation and radio interference can vary by factors of hundreds to thousands; and the shape and location of the magnetopause and bow shock wave upstream of it can change by several Earth radii, exposing geosynchronous satellites to the direct solar wind.
