Make waves without getting wet. With just a Slinky and your hands, model transverse wave resonances as well as longitudinal wave resonances. Learn about nodes and antinodes of motion and compression.

The mud waves were buried beneath sediment over 117 million years, the researchers found. (Image credit: courtesy of D Duarte et al/Heriot-Watt University) Over the eons, more sediment has buried ...

Abstract: Less attention has been given to the inspection using the first longitudinal guided wave mode due to its attenuative and dispersive properties at commonly used ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) ...

Abstract: In addition to the axial stress, temperature also affects the velocity of ultrasonic waves in the bolt. Ignoring the influence of temperature leads to inaccurate bolt axial stress ...

This paper investigates a metamaterial cylindrical shell with local resonators for broadband longitudinal wave attenuation. A three-component phononic crystal metamaterial cylindrical shell that opens ...

Push down on one jelly tot and watch as the ripple travels to the end of the model and back. This wave model shows a transverse wave. In a longitudinal wave the vibrations are parallel to the ...

Physics textbooks tell us that there are two types of waves. In transverse waves like light, the vibrations would be perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In longitudinal waves like ...

the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In longitudinal waves like sound, the vibrations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation. But the latest discovery ...
