Shock tubes simulate jet aerodynamics and investigate the behavior of high-temperature
materials, which has significantly evolved since 1899. This article examines the changes in …

Shock tubes have emerged as an effective tool for applications in various fields of research
and technology. The conventional mode of shock tube operation employs a frangible …

This paper proposes and demonstrates a novel shock tube driven by commercially available
detonation transmission tubing in a safe, repeatable, and controllable manner for laboratory …

Polypropylene and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) have several applications in the
aerospace industry and the study of their behaviour in high speed impact events is of great …

In light of the finite supply of fossil fuels, concerns about the impact of combustion engine
emissions, and increasing efficiency requirements for on-road vehicles, a search has begun …

This article presents a miniature shock wave driven micro‐jet generator to deliver liquid
drugs into human skin, to a controlled depth, with minimal invasion. The device can release …

In this paper, we developed a one-dimensional compressible flow model to study the
behavior of various diaphragmless drivers numerically. We determined that the diameter …

Blast simulators facilitate the creation of shock waves and measurement of pressure
morphology in a controlled laboratory setting and are currently a vital model for replicating …

In this study, a novel diaphragmless shock tube driven by a driver valve system consisting of
multiple air-operated valves was developed. The novel shock tube can generate shock …

Introduction Conventional shock tubes usually use diaphragms to separate the driver and
driven section from each other before experiment. Diaphragms have the advantage that they …
