Longitudinal and Transverse Vibrations topics include: Vibratory motion and its types, damped vibrations, damping factor or ratio, dynamic magnifier, free longitudinal and transverse vibrations. The difference between longitudinal and transverse vibrations is the direction in which the waves shake. In a longitudinal wave, the particles move parallel to the wave direction. In a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the wave direction. Longitudinal waves are also known as compression waves. Examples of transverse waves include: Vibrations on a string Ripples on the...
