The following is based on a description from Dennis Kern, NASA/JPL, which Isam Yunis, NASA Langley, referenced in a shock presentation. Shocks travel through structure as a combination of propagating waves and vibration response, with the vibration response concentrated more in lower frequencies and the… Read more
