Hi Studiot. Yes, thanks for posting the equation, it's correct and I understand it for isotropic solids. But the application I have requires to know the transverse pulse response propagation time in a long thin aluminium rod, with a circular cross section that could be hollow with a relatively...
Thanks studiot. Appreciated.
However, the application of that isotropic equation doesn't seem to fit well. In the case of a long thin rod, from published solutions for beam modal self resonance, transverse wave velocity appears to be dependant upon profile shape, ie second moment of area I...
I need to know the propagation velocity of a transverse wave on a long thin bar or rod. In terms of material properties, such as E and density, and in terms of geometry such as I (2nd moment of area).
I'm a physics grad, so reasonably versed in such things. But can neither find nor derive...
