Actually, I was talking about mechanical shock, which is an extremely rapid
acceleration or deceleration. In another definition, it is also a variant of
impact (force delivered over time as time goes to zero). Also you can think of
it as the first derivative of acceleration (change in acceleration with time)
or third derivative of position (d^3X/dT^2), which is truly defined (and GOD it
pains me to type this) as a "jerk".
Let the pigeons loose,
Ron
