Shock attenuation during heel-strike, forefoot-strike, and spring-boot running
… the foot's impact with the ground generates a shock wave that propagates up the body and is attenuated before reaching the head. This study investigated mechanisms of shock attenuation (SA) during heel-strike (HS), forefoot strike (FFS), and spring-boot (SB) running; Participants (n = 10) ran …

Tibial Acceleration and Shock Attenuation in Female and Male Distance Runners at Different Levels of Body Weight Unloading
… unloading affects tibial acceleration (TA) and shock attenuation. Twelve trained distance runners (Sex: 6 males and 6 females; Age: 18-30 years) were recruited for this study. TA was measured through two Blue Trident, IMeasureU step units located at the distal tibiae. A STATSports Apex unit was …

Shock attenuation at the knee during walking in people with knee osteoarthritis: association with disease severity and effects of exercise
… life through joint pain and decreased mobility. Shock attenuation at the knee has been one measure associated with increased pain due to the inability to properly absorb shock as one performs physical activities such as walking and running. Although there is currently no cure to knee …

Experimental and numerical study of the bleed effect on the propagation of strong plane and converging cylindrical shock waves
… propagation of plane and converging cylindrical shock waves. A fully 3-D Finite Element code was written for simulating inviscid unsteady flow in various cases of shock tube geometry. The scheme used was implicit time-marching with the Galerkin discretization for spatial coordinate derivatives …

Computational Fluid Dynamics-Informed Analysis of Diaphragm-Free Shock Tubes and Insert Designs
… simulation of a novel, compact, diaphragm-free shock tube is presented using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in ANSYS Fluent 2022 R1 to better understand shock tube behavior for improved control in high-pressure, high-temperature shock experiments. The study quantifies geometric and viscous …
