Survey of Wave Types and Characteristics

  • Chapter
Structure-Borne Sound

Abstract

In solids, as in liquids and gases, there can also occur pure longitudinal waves—that is, waves in which the direction of the particle displacements coincides with the direction of wave propagation. One may readily visualize such waves by studying the motion of two planes which in the undisturbed medium are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. In pure longitudinal wave motion, these planes experience absolute displacements from their positions of equilibrium and the distance between them also changes in general.
