Variables Used
Shock Strength - Shock Strength is mathematically the difference in pressure across a normal shockwave to the pressure ahead of a shockwave.
Heat Capacity Ratio - The Heat Capacity Ratio also known as the adiabatic index is the ratio of specific heats i.e. the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.
Mach Number - Mach Number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shock Strength of Moving Object Formula

Shock Strength = (2*Heat Capacity Ratio)/((Heat Capacity Ratio+1)*(Mach Number^2-1))
Δpp1ratio = (2*γ)/((γ+1)*(Mr^2-1))

Does shock strength increase with Mach number?

The downstream value 'Ma' of the Mach number increases with increasing shock strength. Shock is only slightly weaker than the shock of maximum possible strength having a sonic downstream state.

How do you measure shock strength?

Shocks are usually measured by accelerometers but other transducers and high-speed imaging are also used. A wide variety of laboratory instrumentation is available; stand-alone shock data loggers are also used.

How to Calculate Shock Strength of Moving Object?

Shock Strength of Moving Object calculator uses Shock Strength = (2*Heat Capacity Ratio)/((Heat Capacity Ratio+1)*(Mach Number^2-1)) to calculate the Shock Strength, The shock strength of moving object is the ratio of static pressure across the shock to the inlet static pressure. The strength of normal shock in a perfect gas depends only on the Mach number. Shock Strength is denoted by Δpp1ratio symbol.
