An adaptable, laser-diode-based illumination system was developed to simultaneously visualize the dynamics of slow and fast phenomena in optically transparent media. The system can be coupled with still or high-speed cameras and makes it possible to generate an arbitrary train of illumination pulses with a variable pulse duration, pulse energy, and an intrapulse delay with a temporal resolution of 12.5 ns. Its capabilities are presented with selected illustrative visualizations of the dynamics of the shock waves and the cavitation entities generated after the laser-induced breakdown in water.

: This study explores how thoracic orientation affects lung pressure and injury outcomes from shock waves, building on earlier research that suggested human posture impacts injury severity. : A layered finite element model of the chest was constructed based on the Chinese Visual Human Dataset (CVH), including the rib and intercostal muscle layers. The dynamic response of the chest under 12 different angle-oriented shock waves under incident pressures of 200 kPa and 500 kPa was calculated.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) achieves its therapeutic purpose mainly through the biological effects produced by the interaction of shock waves with tissues, and the accurate measurement and calculation of the mechanical parameters of shock waves in tissues are of great significance in formulating the therapeutic strategy and evaluating the therapeutic effect. This study utilizes the approach of implanting flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) vibration sensors inside the tissue-mimicking phantom of various thicknesses to capture waveforms at different depths during the impact process in real time. Parameters including positive and negative pressure changes (P, P), pulse wave rise time ([Formula: see text]), and energy flux density (EFD) are calculated, and frequency spectrum analysis of the waveforms is conducted.

Mechanical interatomic bond formation under ultrahigh pressure induced by laser-driven shock waves has been demonstrated for C-C, C-O, and O-O bonds. In this study, molecules generated in primary amine solutions irradiated with high-intensity lasers were identified. When methylamine or ethylamine was dissolved in methanol or ethanol, molecules likely formed through C-C or O-N bonds between the amine and alcohol were detected.

Fish are ectothermic animals with temperature playing a key role in their health, growth and survival. Greater occurrence of heat waves and temperature extremes, as a result of global climate change, has the potential to impact both wild and farmed populations. Within aquaculture, production is threatened by a multitude of stressors, including adverse temperatures.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process that uses a rotating tool to soften and stir the base metal, thereby joining it. A special type of tool that has attracted the interest of researchers is the so-called bobbin tool (BTFSW), which, unlike conventional tools with one shoulder, features two shoulders that envelop the base metal from both the top and bottom sides. As a result, significant tensile stresses develop on both sides of the weld, caused by the action of both tool shoulders.
