Distribution A: Approved for Public Release SHOCK WAVE GENERATORS
نویسنده
چکیده
Flux compression generators (FCGs) are high-energy power supplies that are capable of delivering joules to megajoules to loads. There are different types of generators, where each type has its advantages and disadvantages. One possible significant disadvantage of all FCGs is high G-force survivability. To address this issue, a new FCG design is being developed. This new generator, called a Shock Wave Generator (SWG), replaces the standard air filled armature with a powder or a solid, which under shock pressures transitions from a dielectric to a metallic state. This moving metallic shock front is used to convert the chemical energy of high explosives into electrical energy. In this paper, we will report on recent experimental studies of these generators.

Background: Spasticity is a common motor impairment in patients with stroke that not only has a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life but also has high economic burdens for society. Recently the application of shock wave therapy has attracted considerable attention as a safe and effective method in treatment of spasticity. The objective of the present study was to investigate the eff...
