ABSTRACT:
A shock wave tube generates a plane shock wave which is divided into two partial waves by means of a splitting device, such as a cone. Adjacent the cone are first and second reflectors. The reflectors have different parabolic curvatures and different distances from the cone. Their respective foci coincide at a common point, where a concrement is located. The partial waves require different transit times to reach the common focus point. Time-staggered shock waves are obtained in the concrement with the use of a single shock wave tube.
