	Replacing Shock Absorbers - Popular Mechanics
		Occasionally, a shock produces a visible leak of fluid, but some hint of weep is normal, and most shocks we've seen that were well worn out, also looked bone dry.
		Both shock mountings on most late-model vehicles are in the underbody, so if you support the chassis on safety stands, you have access to the top and bottom.
		Only a handful of electronic systems' shocks are not available from third parties, either because they're an oddball size or because the tie-in to the vehicle electronics would result in a ride/ handling glitch if you installed nonelectronic replacements.

		In fluid mechanics, a shock wave is a strong pressure wave produced by explosions or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.
		Shock waves ultimately degenerate to normal pressure waves as their energy is absorbed by the medium.
		For example, particles accelerated beyond the speed of light in a particular medium, such as water, where the speed of light is less than that in a vacuum, create shock effects, a phenomenon known as Cerenkov radiation.

		Septic shock is caused by overwhelming infection and is treated by massive doses of antibiotics.
		Most forms of shock exhibit all these symptoms and signs but occasionally, as in septic or toxic shock, the patient's hands and feet may initially be warm rather than cold and clammy as the toxins cause peripheral vasodilatation[?].
		The proper treatment of shock is vital in the performance of first aid and comprises an essential part of the duties of the emergency medical technician, nurse, paramedic and doctor.

		In everyday life, shock waves are commonly experienced as the crash of thunder, the crack of a whip, or the sound of a gunshot or firecracker.
		By definition, a shock wave is a surface of discontinuity (in the field variables) which is capable of propagating relative to the material.
		Inspection of (46)-(49) reveals that the shock jump conditions are symmetric with respect to the conditions ahead of and behind the shock.

	Saddle, Lance and Stirrup
		As to the technology of shock combat, I refer to efforts on the part of Peter Connoly to reconstruct a replica of a roman saddle - the result of which was presented at the Roman Military Equipment Conference in 1987.
		It is a technique that is assumed naturally in the course of "Shock Combat" and was readily used whenever necessary by mounted warriors throughout history, whether or not "Shock Tactics" were employed in a particular battle.
		The answer to when "Shock Tactics" were employed by a particular culture should be directed to searching for the earliest evidence of the establishment and training, and maintenance of a mounted army within that culture.

	Popular Mechanics - Replacing Shock Absorbers
		Struts are simply a shock that includes the spring perch and a bearing that replaces the upper ball joint.
		A shock absorber doesn't absorb shock (the spring does that, by flexing to absorb the energy of an impact).
		When the piston moves up as the shock absorber extends, oil is drawn from the reservoir into the main chamber, and some also flows through orifices in the piston, as part of the ride control calibration.

	Popular Mechanics - Replacing Shock Absorbers
		Many shocks are mounted on studs, and we've even seen those where the shock upper mount has a retaining bracket held by an additional stud and bolt.
		If the shock mounts on studs and the nut is tough to thread on, clean the threads with a wire brush and apply penetrating oil/solvent.
		Most shocks have twin-tube (chamber) arrangements, an inner chamber with the piston and a calibrated valve at the bottom, which has the entry passage to an outer chamber--the reservoir.

	WPI 2005-2006 Undergraduate Catalog - Mechanical Engineering Course Descriptions
		Intended for students other than mechanical or manufacturing engineering students, this course is oriented towards developing competence in mechanical engineering concepts on the level that the technology interfaces directly with their own discipline.
		Laboratory experiments address both mechanical and thermal systems and instrumentation in either traditional mechanical engineering (heat transfer, flow measurement/visualization, force/torque/strain measurement, motion/vibration measurement) or materials engineering (temperature and pressure measurements in materials processing, measurement of strain and position in mechanical testing of materials).
		This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of mechanical vibrations, which are important for design and analysis of mechanical and structural systems subjected to time-varying loads.

	Dr Derek Bray, DAPS - 108 Fluid Mechanics Module Information
		The main disadvantage of the detached shock is that it produces a relatively large wave drag component relative to the attached type.
		Whether one or the other type of shock occurs depends on two factors: (i) the flight Mach number, and (ii) the angle through which the flow is being forced to turn.
		Even if the nose were sharp, the shock would still be detached in the first instance until M is high enough to sustain the desirable attached shock.

	Navier-Stokes Equations: General Existence Conditions for Shock Waves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The question of which type of shock (if any) exist for a given fluid is raised in nearly every reference on shock waves, including the most elementary texts on engineering fluid mechanics.
		As discussed in my introduction to shock waves, most references just state that the shock will exist if the entropy inequality (54) is satisfied.
		By compression (expansion) shock, we mean a shock for which the pressure of a fluid particle increases (decreases) due to its encounter with the shock.

		Shock diamonds are an example of commonly observed shock waves.
		Shock diamonds are really disk-shaped shock waves, called Mach disks, which are formed as shock waves reflect and re-reflect in the exhaust.
		Because the shock disks raise the temperature of the gas moving through them, excess fuel is ignited causing the glow recognized as the shock diamond.
