transverse vibration

A string is attached to it by which the transverse vibrations of strings can be studied.

In general, transverse vibrations tend to have smaller frequencies than longitudinal vibrations.

Here, is a positive constant, which gives the speed at which transverse vibration waves propagate in the membrane.

He worked out the theory of transverse vibration of bowed strings, on the basis of superposition velocities.

A Junker test is a mechanical test to determine the point at which a bolted joint loses its preload when subjected to shear loading caused by transverse vibration.

In the days when the aether was less in doubt, we should have said that what was happening was a certain kind of transverse vibration in the aether.

Longitudinal vibrations (pressure waves) propagate at around 6000 meters per second; transverse vibrations (shear waves) propagate at around 3000 m/s.

A string undergoing transverse vibration illustrates many features common to all vibrating acoustic systems, whether these are the vibrations of a guitar string or the standing wave nodes in a studio monitoring room.

Thus, thermal motion in liquids can be decomposed into elementary longitudinal vibrations (or acoustic phonons) while transverse vibrations (or shear waves) were originally described only in elastic solids exhibiting the highly ordered crystalline state of matter.

In 1845 Stokes proposed a 'putty-like' aether which acts as a liquid on large scales but as a solid on small scales, thus supporting both the transverse vibrations required for polarized light and the aether flow required to explain aberration.
