| Solids can sustain both longitudinal and transverse waves because compressions can generate lateral distortions which may maintain transverse forces. |
| The longitudinal waves are deeper and faster than the transverse waves which follow as aftershocks. |
| In physics, there are standing waves, longitudinal waves and transverse waves, to name just a few. |
| The numerical results demonstrate the evolution of cellular cell bifurcation of cylindrical detonation, and indicate that new cellular cells are generated from the self-organized transverse waves. |
| Describe the characteristics of longitudinal and transverse waves. |
| From two-dimensional simulations, it was shown that detonation instabilities manifest themselves by a characteristic cellular structure comprised of transverse waves sweeping across the detonation front. |
