Abstract
Shock wave caused by automobile exhaust system, etc are mainly factors of vibration and noise. Since the magnitudes of vibration and noise are dependent on strength of the shock wave, it is important to measure accurately strength of the shock wave. In this research, installing experimental apparatus with share force sensors (i. e. strain gages), the shear forces after passing though the shock wave are measured. Experimental results show that the behavior of flow can be successfully estimated by analyzing the measured shear forces.
