To measure the attenuation, frequency, and amplitude of stress wave propagation in a metal rod or plate immersed in water, specific equations are required that depend on the measurement method used. The amplitude and frequency of the generated waves are influenced by how vibrations are introduced to the rod. Accurate calculations cannot be made without conducting physical measurements, as these quantities are not derived from theoretical equations alone. Attenuation is also material-dependent, necessitating empirical data for precise evaluation. Therefore, practical experimentation is essential to obtain the desired measurements and calculations.
