What is speed of torsional wave?

The speed of a torsional wave depends on the material it is propagating through. In general, torsional waves travel slower than longitudinal waves in the same material. The speed can be calculated using the material properties like shear modulus and density.


Is torsional critical speed the same as torsional Analysis?

Torsional analysis: This analysis completed based on strcture properties like Mass MI and Torsional stiffness. Torsional critical speed analysis: Speed of rotor will come into picture in addition to Mass MI and Torsional stiffness of the structure.

What happens to a wave when it hits a surface?

When a wave hits a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction depends on the properties of the surface and the wave itself. If the surface is smooth, the wave is more likely to be reflected; if the surface is rough, the wave might be absorbed or scattered in multiple directions.

What is it called when a wave's energy is lost to a surface making the wave weaker?

When a wave's energy is lost to a surface, resulting in the wave becoming weaker, it is called wave absorption or wave attenuation. This can occur when the wave interacts with the surface material and causes it to dissipate or absorb the energy of the wave.
