Characterizing shock waves in hydrogel using high speed imaging and a fiber-optic probe hydrophone

The impact of a stainless steel disk-shaped projectile launched by a single-stage light gas gun is used to generate planar shock waves with amplitudes on the order of 10 2 MPa in a hydrogel target material. These shock waves are characterized using ultra-high-speed imaging as well as a fiber-optic p...
