Shear-wave generation from cavitation in soft solids

The formation and dynamics of cavities in liquids lead to focusing of kinetic energy and emission of longitudinal stress waves during the cavity collapse. Here, we report that cavitation in elastic solids may additionally emit shear waves that could affect soft tissues in human bodies/brains. During...
