Acoustics and Vibration Animations

The links below contain animations which visualize certain concepts concerning acoustics and vibration. I started creating these animations while I was a member of the physics faculty at Kettering University (1995-2011). The intent has been to create physically and mathematically correct animations that illustrate complicated phenomena involving waves and vibration.
