This is not true, except perhaps in the plasma state, gases have a limited number of natural
mechanical vibration frequencies or wavelengths due to their particular physical structure.
Not exact matches
Therefore, when an acoustic or
mechanical wave contacts the material, it perturbs it, generating the unique properties that block sound waves and
mechanical vibrations of certain
frequencies from passing through.
A small resonator placed in a window pane creates acoustical or
mechanical vibrations at just the right
frequency to make the glass shatter.
Yan Weili and colleagues at the A * STAR Data Storage Institute have developed a powerful mathematical model that identifies
mechanical resonance modes above the Nyquist
frequency that lead to
vibration, so they can potentially be eliminated, leading to better performing mechatronic systems.
This particular kind of PCN has been shown, by another EPFL scientist, Tobias Kippenberg, to produce
mechanical vibrations of different
frequencies when it interacts with light.
The magnetic field compresses the metamaterial, but does not constrain it, enabling an acoustic or
mechanical wave to perturb the material and generate unique properties, including negative modulus and negative density that blocks sound waves and
mechanical vibrations of certain
frequencies from passing through.
«Optomechanics is an area of research in which extremely minute forces exerted by light (for example: radiation pressure, gradient force, electrostriction) are used to generate and control high -
frequency mechanical vibrations of microscale and nanoscale devices,» explained Gaurav Bahl, an assistant professor of
mechanical science and engineering at Illinois.
In particular, the high
frequency, high quality - factor
mechanical vibrations demonstrated in this work may enable strongly localized, high - sensitivity, optomechanical interaction with chemical and biological samples.»
