I have been watching a few videos and I can see that some of the tanks nowadays have such huge main guns that obviously have a lot of power, but what stops the Shockwave from travelling inside and around the interior of the tank where the crew are?
To me that sounds like it would cause a lot of damage with all the vibrations going on. Do the tank crew even feel the brunt of the shockwave?

Not to be too reductive, but the tank, lol. The tank chassis is very heavy and structurally rigid, and is actually designed to damp vibrations in the chassis. Think of it as being in a bank vault when something loud goes off outside. You won’t hear much of anything. Think of it this way. Sound is vibrations in air. To reach your ear inside the tank, the sound outside has to vibrate the hull to make vibrations that can reach your ears. The hull of the tank is very heavy and rigid, it does not vibrate easily. So most of the sound is reflected away or dampened out by the hull, so very little of the sound energy makes it into the hull to make vibrations for your ear to hear.
