Abstract
It is important to clarify the mechanism of human tissue damage which occurs associated with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) clinical treatments. Human tissue being non-homogeneous, shock wave propagation in it involves complicated wave interactions, such as reflection, refraction and diffraction. Therefore, in order to understand the dynamic behavior of human tissue exposed to shock waves, it is necessary to determine experimentally the equation of state (EOS) of human tissue. This paper reports the experimentally obtained Hugo- niot curve of human blood and other model tissue. Using these experimental results, a numerical simulation of shock propagation in inhomogeneous model tissue was carried out using a TVD finite difference scheme.
