From: Mechanisms of cell damage due to mechanical impact: an in vitro investigation

Direct comparison between acceleration (\({a}_{in}\)) and acceleration-induced pressure (\({p}_{m}\)) during impact. (a) Schematic of an experimental setup for concurrently monitoring acceleration and pressure. (b) Experimental data to compare acceleration (vertical axis on the left, blue) with the corresponding pressure (vertical axis on the right, red) in time for pure water (V = 6 ml) in a transparent plastic tube. (c) High speed camera images of the tube during 40 mm-drop.
