Study on Expansion of a Silicon Tube by Underwater Shock Wave

Many studies about the behavior of the structure by shock wave have been researched until now. On those researches, some metals, resin, glass, concrete, wood were handled as a structure, and on many studies it was clarified about processing and behavior by the shock wave. On the other hand, recently, bio-materials have attracted attention on the material dynamics. It is impotant to recognition the behavior of these materials by the shock loading. Therefore, we have investigated the deformation of bio-material by shock wave. As the first approach, the expansion behavior of a silicon tube by underwater shock wave has been investigated and some numerical simulations and experiment have been performed.
