Nanosecond Shock Wave-Induced Surface Acoustic Waves and Fracture at Fluid-Solid
(2018)I investigate the generation and propagation characteristics of leaky Rayleigh waves (LRWs) by a spherical shock wave incident on a glass-water boundary both experimentally and numerically. The maximum tensile stress produced ... -
Non-axisymmetric and Steerable Acoustic Field for Enhanced Stone Comminution in Shock Wave Lithotripsy
(2014)The primary goal of this dissertation was to assess the feasibility of transforming an electromagnetic (EM) shock wave lithotripter with an acoustic lens as its focusing device from the original axisymmetric pressure distribution ...
