  2. Normal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mode

    A mode of vibration is characterized by a modal frequency and a mode shape. It is numbered according to the number of half waves in the vibration. For example, if a vibrating beam with both ends pinned displayed a mode shape of half of a sine wave (one peak on the vibrating beam) it would be vibrating in mode 1.

  3. Mode conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_conversion

    Mode conversion occurs when a wave encounters an interface between materials of different impedances and the incident angle is not normal to the interface. [1] Thus, for example, if a longitudinal wave from a fluid (e.g., water or air) strikes a solid (e.g., steel plate), it is usually refracted and reflected as a function of the angle of incidence, but if some of the energy causes particle ...

  4. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    A mode shape is assumed for the system, with two terms, one of which is weighted by a factor B, e.g. Y = [1, 1] + B[1, −1]. Simple harmonic motion theory says that the velocity at the time when deflection is zero, is the angular frequency ω {\displaystyle \omega } times the deflection (y) at time of maximum deflection.

  5. Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    The column "representation" indicates under which representations of the gauge groups that each field transforms, in the order (SU(3), SU(2), U(1)) and for the U(1) group, the value of the weak hypercharge is listed. There are twice as many left-handed lepton field components as right-handed lepton field components in each generation, but an ...

  6. Wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation

    A solution of the initial-value problem for the wave equation in three space dimensions can be obtained from the corresponding solution for a spherical wave. The result can then be also used to obtain the same solution in two space dimensions.

  7. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2] The subject is based upon a three-dimensional Euclidean space with fixed axes, called a frame of ...

  8. Eigenmode expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenmode_expansion

    It is also referred to as the mode matching technique [1] or the bidirectional eigenmode propagation method (BEP method). [2] Eigenmode expansion is a linear frequency-domain method. It offers very strong benefits compared with FDTD , FEM and the beam propagation method for the modelling of optical waveguides , [ 3 ] and it is a popular tool ...

  9. Stochastic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_partial...

    For dimensions two and higher, solutions are not even function-valued, but can be made sense of as random distributions. For linear equations, one can usually find a mild solution via semigroup techniques. [6] However, problems start to appear when considering non-linear equations. For example
