| 11. | Acting on the human body, the shock waves cause pressure waves through the tissues.
|
| 12. | Blast-driven shock tubes generate pressure waves that are more realistic to free-field blast waves.
|
| 13. | This pressure wave can cause major problems, from noise and vibration to pipe collapse.
|
| 14. | In tissue, both types of pressure waves have similar magnitudes, duration, and frequency characteristics.
|
| 15. | The way physicists define it, as a pressure wave, does not require an observer.
|
| 16. | These properties form enough to create a palpable pressure wave.
|
| 17. | In the Great Lakes, a weak low pressure wave will promote clouds and showers.
|
| 18. | The pressure wave from the final explosion was recorded on barographs around the world.
|
| 19. | You have correctly noted that the pressure wave travels at the speed of sound.
|
| 20. | Hence, Fackler argued, ballistic pressure waves cannot damage tissue either.
