  2. Campbell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_diagram

    Campbell Diagram of a steam turbine. Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to ...

  3. Electromagnetic compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_compatibility

    Interference mitigation and hence electromagnetic compatibility may be achieved by addressing any or all of these issues, i.e., quieting the sources of interference, inhibiting coupling paths and/or hardening the potential victims. In practice, many of the engineering techniques used, such as grounding and shielding, apply to all three issues.

  4. Interferometric visibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometric_visibility

    The interferometric visibility (also known as interference visibility and fringe visibility, or just visibility when in context) is a measure of the contrast of interference in any system subject to wave superposition. Examples include as optics, quantum mechanics, water waves, sound waves, or electrical signals.

  5. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two coherent waves are combined by adding their intensities or displacements with due consideration for their phase difference. The resultant wave may have greater intensity ( constructive interference ) or lower amplitude ( destructive interference ) if the two waves are in phase or out of ...

  6. Sagnac effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagnac_effect

    The Sagnac effect, also called Sagnac interference, named after French physicist Georges Sagnac, is a phenomenon encountered in interferometry that is elicited by rotation. The Sagnac effect manifests itself in a setup called a ring interferometer or Sagnac interferometer .

    Nader Engheta received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (with a minor in Physics), in 1982 from the California Institute of Technology.Currently he is a Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering, and Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania.

  8. Huygens–Fresnel principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens–Fresnel_principle

    In 1818, Fresnel [5] showed that Huygens's principle, together with his own principle of interference, could explain both the rectilinear propagation of light and also diffraction effects. To obtain agreement with experimental results, he had to include additional arbitrary assumptions about the phase and amplitude of the secondary waves, and ...

  9. Lloyd's mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd's_mirror

    Lloyd's mirror is an optics experiment that was first described in 1834 by Humphrey Lloyd in the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy. [1] Its original goal was to provide further evidence for the wave nature of light, beyond those provided by Thomas Young and Augustin-Jean Fresnel.
