  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the Skin Surface Shock Wave which is generated after we impart an impulsive force to human skin. The force is given by an air jet during 200 [ms]. The basic behavior of shock wave is measured by a high speed camera with the frame rate of 2000 [Hz]. Through the experiment, we found an interesting behavior where there exists a remarkable difference between young and elder subjects especially during the recovery phase, while there is nearly no difference between two during the force imparting phase
