Deformation processes of the metal pipes accelerated by underwater shock wave, are investigated by both optical measurement and numerical calculation. It is confirmed that the deformation of the metal pipe obtained by the streak photograph quite agrees with that obtained by the numerical calculations. The radial velocity component of the deformation of Al pipe is faster than that of the Cu pipe. The metal pipes which are accelerated up to the maximum velocity by the underwater shock wave, are deforming with nearly constant velocity.
