This paper reports that the effect of cumulative number of discharge shot on the pit of gelatin simulating biomaterial attached with microbubbles subjected to the underwater shock wave loading generated by the electrical discharge. The height distributions of gelatin surface attached without and with microbubbles loaded by the underwater shock wave were measured by the 3-D microscope. The diameter and depth of pits in the surface were measured from the results of height distributions. The results indicated that the diameter and depth of pits in the gelatin were increased as the number of discharge shot increased and as the microbubble diameter attaching the gelatin was increased.
