ylipaineaalto
Ylipaineaalto, often translated as overpressure wave or blast wave, refers to a rapid and significant increase in air pressure that propagates outwards from an explosion or other rapid expansion of volume. This phenomenon is characterized by a sharp rise in pressure, followed by a decrease below atmospheric pressure (a suction phase), and then a return to ambient pressure. The magnitude and duration of the overpressure wave depend on factors such as the type and amount of explosive material, the surrounding environment, and the distance from the source.
The effects of an overpressure wave can be severe. The sudden increase in pressure can cause physical
Overpressure waves are a critical consideration in the design of protective structures and in the assessment
