The phrase "a stress pulse" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to physics, engineering, or medical discussions, particularly when describing a sudden change in stress or pressure.
Example: "The experiment measured the response of the material to a stress pulse applied over a short duration."
Alternatives: "a stress wave" or "a pressure pulse".
It utilizes a recent, enhanced version of the classical (Kolsky) compression split Hopkinson bar [1], in which a sample is subjected to a single stress pulse of a predefined profile, and then recovered without being subjected to any other additional loading.
Numerical analysis of propagation of a rectangular stress pulse reveals attenuation and development of a stress of an opposite sign, and these results are shown as functions of location and pulse-width.
An analysis of these responses indicate that when an incident stress pulse passes through a layered structure, a reduced stress amplitude and elongated pulse duration could be obtained with proper selection of materials and layer dimensions.
It is identified that the aluminum foam transmits an insignificant amount of stress pulse before complete densification.
Dynamic loads are characterized by high amplitude and short duration stress pulse or a high strain rate.
Direct effects of exercise on the vasculature, perhaps by virtue of a repetitive impact of shear stress, pulse pressure or pulsatility, may therefore contribute to the reduction in coronary events associated with exercise training (Green et al. 2008c).
Resilient modulus (Mr) of asphalt mixtures in laboratory tests is usually measured by applying a haversine pulse with a specific duration and rest period which may not simulate the actual stress pulse occurring in field.
A stress transfer function, which relates the stress response at the fixed support to the applied stress pulse, is derived for several specific layered structures.
The results indicate that the stress pulse duration threshold for initiation of spall is about 120 ns at an applied tensile stress level of ∼0.7 GPa.
The theoretical description of the initiation, propagation and evolution of the stress pulse during impact was generalized and formulized.
