Shock Wave Propagation and Reflection in Solid Materials

Shock Wave Propagation and Reflection in Solid Materials [Pg.20]

When a shock wave travels in a solid wall from one end to the other, a compressive force is created at the front end of the shock wave. When the shock wave reaches the other end, a reflection wave is formed, which travels back in the reverse direction. This reflection wave forms an expansion force that acts on the wall. [Pg.20]
