Using conduits in which a transmitted shock wave experiences abrupt changes in its direction of propagation is an effective means for shock wave attenuation. An additional attenuation of the transmitted shock wave is obtained when the medium contained inside the conduit (through which the shock wave is transmitted) is a suspension rather than a pure gas. The present numerical study shows that adding small solid particles (dust) into the gaseous phase results in sharp attenuation of all shock waves passing through the conduit. It is shown that the smaller the dust particles diameter is, the higher the shock attenuation becomes. Increasing the dust mass loading in the suspension also causes a quick attenuation. By proper choice of dust mass loading in the suspension, or the particles diameter, it is possible to ensure that the emerging wave from the conduit exit channel is a (smooth) compression wave, rather than a shock wave.

When a shock wave is incident on an obstacle, it is not only reflected back but also transmitted into the obstacle itself. The transmitted shock wave has not been fully investigated so far, compared with the reflected shock wave. In actual situations, the behavior and the characteristics of the transmitted shock wave are also of importance. In battlefields, human bodies are often subject to explosions and resulting shock waves. In particular, severe damage can be caused when a shock wave is transmitted into the human brain. In the present study, we conducted experiments to investigate the behavior and intensity of a shock wave, after it is transmitted into various materials. The materials used were sintered metal, silicone, and polyethylene foam. They were fixed on a specially devised model with a cavity, by which the resulting wave after a shock wave is transmitted could be observed. In order to understand what is happening in sintered metal, a 2-D model made of straws was devised and used.

After materials with superconducting temperatures higher than liquid nitrogen have been prepared, more emphasis has been on increasing the current densities (Jc) of high Tc superconductors than finding new materials with higher transition temperatures. Different processing techniques i.e thin films, shock wave processing, neutron radiation etc. have been applied in order to increase Jc. Microstructural studies of compounds thus prepared have shown either a decrease in gram boundaries that act as weak-links or increase in defect structure that act as flux-pinning centers. We have studied shock wave synthesized Tl-Ba-Cu-O and shock wave processed Y-123 superconductors with somewhat different properties compared to those prepared by solid-state reaction. Here we report the defect structures observed in the shock-processed Y-124 superconductors.

Single crystals of Al were loaded by 15 to 40 GPa shock waves at 77 K with a pulse duration of 1.0 to 0.5 μs and a residual deformation of ∼1%. The analysis of deformation structure peculiarities allows the deformation history to be re-established.After a 20 to 40 GPa loading the dislocation density in the recovered samples was about 1010 cm-2. By measuring the thickness of the 40 GPa shock front in Al, a plastic deformation velocity of 1.07 x 108 s-1 is obtained, from where the moving dislocation density at the front is 7 x 1010 cm-2. A very small part of dislocations moves during the whole time of compression, i.e. a total dislocation density at the front must be in excess of this value by one or two orders. Consequently, due to extremely high stresses, at the front there exists a very unstable structure which is rearranged later with a noticeable decrease in dislocation density.
