high-amplitude acoustic wave
1Acoustic streaming — is a steady current forced by the absorption of high amplitude acoustic oscillations.This phenomenon can be observed near sound emitters, or in the standing waves within a Kundt s tube.It is the less known opposite of sound generation by a… …
2Acoustic microscopy — Introduction = Acoustic microscopes employ very high or ultra high frequency ultrasound. These microscopes operate nondestructively and penetrate most solid materials to make visible images of internal features, including defects such as cracks,… …
3Acoustic quieting — This article primarily discusses mechanical and acoustic noise. See Noise reduction for electronic noise. : For noise masking by saturation, see Sound masking or pink noise.Acoustic quieting is the process of making machinery quieter by damping… …
4Cnoidal wave — US Army bombers flying over near periodic swell in shallow water, close to the Panama coast (1933). The sharp crests and very flat troughs are characteristic for cnoidal waves. In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic… …
5Rayleigh wave — Rayleigh waves, also known as the Rayleigh Lamb Wave or ground roll , are a type of surface wave. They are associated on the Earth with earthquakes and subterranean movement of magma, or with any other source of seismic energy, such as an… …
6Interference (wave propagation) — Two point interference in a ripple tank. In physics, interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superpose each other to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are… …
7Wind wave — Ocean wave redirects here. For the film, see Ocean Waves (film). North Pacific storm waves as seen from the NOAA M/V Noble Star, Winter 1989 …
8Stirling engine — Alpha type Stirling engine. There are two cylinders. The expansion cylinder (red) is maintained at a high temperature while the compression cylinder (blue) is cooled. The passage between the two cylinders contains the regenerator …
9Quartz crystal microbalance — A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measures a mass per unit area by measuring the change in frequency of a quartz crystal resonator. The resonance is disturbed by the addition or removal of a small mass due to oxide growth/decay or film… …
10Lamb waves — propagate in solid plates. They are elastic waves whose particle motion lies in the plane defined by the plate normal and the direction of wave propagation. In 1917, the English mathematician Horace Lamb published his classic analysis and… …
