  2. Lamb waves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_waves

    While Lamb's analysis assumed a straight wavefront, it has been shown [8] that the same characteristic equations apply to cylindrical plate waves (i.e. waves propagating outwards from a line source, the line lying perpendicular to the plate). The difference is that whereas the "carrier" for the straight wavefront is a sinusoid, the "carrier ...

  3. Scharnhorst effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scharnhorst_effect

    The effect, however, is predicted to be minuscule. A photon traveling between two plates that are 1 micrometer apart would increase the photon's speed by only about one part in 10 36. [5] This change in light's speed is too small to be detected with current technology, which prevents the Scharnhorst effect from being tested at this time.

  4. Lamb Site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_Site

    The Lamb Site (11SC24) is an archeological site located in the central Illinois River Valley (CIRV). Excavations of this site began in the 1990s to attempt to understand the Mississippinization of the area following several generations after the intervention of the Cahokians before Columbus's discovery of America. During the eleventh and ...

    Soon afterward, the time traveler was identified as professional spammer Robert J. Todino (known as "Robby"). Todino's attempts to travel in time were a serious belief, and while he believed he was "perfectly mentally stable," his father was concerned that those replying to his emails had been preying on Todino's psychological problems.

  6. Rayleigh wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_wave

    Rayleigh waves are distinct from other types of surface or guided acoustic waves such as Love waves or Lamb waves, both being types of guided waves supported by a layer, or longitudinal and shear waves, that travel in the bulk. Rayleigh waves have a speed slightly less than shear waves by a factor dependent on the elastic constants of the ...

    Except for Plate B, which has two heads, all of the figures face to the right. All of the plates are missing the majority of their tail sections due to being struck by Groomes' plow. Some of the plates show more expertise in artistic design and some of the plates show more proficiency in the production of the basic copper plates.

    A photo of the Kincaid Site showing (clockwise from left) mounds 7, 8, and 9 Diagram of site on one of three information plaques on display. The Chicago excavators in the 1930s documented a prehistory in the Kincaid area stretching back thousands of years, into what is now known as the Archaic Period (8000 to 2000 BCE).

  9. Love wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_wave

    Since Love waves travel on the Earth's surface, the strength (or amplitude) of the waves decrease exponentially with the depth of an earthquake. However, given their confinement to the surface, their amplitude decays only as 1 r {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\sqrt {r}}}} , where r {\displaystyle r} represents the distance the wave has travelled ...
