In one, powdered aluminum is compressed by explosive shock around a mesh of steel piano wires.

I presume it happens with a very short explosive shock but it's not comparable to our transitions.

The explosive shock shattered and destroyed this 2,100 year old Roman Gallery Tunnel.

The ability of the drum to absorb explosive shock correspondingly fell in relation to its size.

There was no one great explosive shock and surprise moment.

By 1916, similar symptoms were also noted in soldiers not exposed to explosive shocks, leading to questions as to whether the disorder was physical or psychiatric.

Near Terschelling, Gneisenau struck a mine that did minor damage to the hull, though the explosive shock damaged one of her three turbines.

The explosive shock caused serious damage; turret Bruno was jammed, as were the twin and single 15 cm mounts on the port side.

The depth charge, usually exploding at a distance from the submarine, had a cushion of water between it and the target which rapidly dissipated the explosive shock.

The Hedgehog's contact charge, on the other hand, had the cushion on the other side, actually increasing the explosive shock.
