The planar shock response of porcine skeletal muscle tissue has been investigated using the plate-impact technique in conjunction with manganin foil pressure gauge diagnostics. This has allowed for in-situ measurement of the uniaxial stress levels imparted to the tissue by the shock wave and the formation of an equation-of-state for the material. Structural changes to the tissue due to the passage of the shock are discussed in context with experimental results.
► Shock compression of skeletal muscle tissue using the plate-impact technique. ► A linear equation-of-state has been established for the material. ► Indication of both a slight and pressure-independent flow strength. ► Homogenized tissue dataset suggests hydrodynamic behaviour. ► Post-shock analysis of recovered tissue using transmission electron microscope.
