longitudinal motion

It is also possible to add head and stern lines to prevent any longitudinal motion.

The least common of these types was the Rall, which combined rolling with longitudinal motion (on trunnions) when opening.

The two longitudinal motions (modes) are called the short period pitch oscillation (SPPO), and the phugoid.

The speed of sound (i.e., the longitudinal motion of wavefronts) is related to frequency and wavelength of a wave by .

It can also be used on resonators with other modes of vibration if the motion can be mechanically converted into a longitudinal motion.

The current then comprises mobile electrons that cannot be dissipatively scattered, and which of course have exactly balanced transverse forces to give longitudinal motion without sideways deflection.

The longitudinal motion consists of two distinct oscillations, a long-period oscillation called a phugoid mode and a short-period oscillation referred to as the short-period mode.

A secondary theme is that California now is being torn apart along a series of "transform faults" caused by longitudinal motions of the crustal plates underlying the West Coast.

It is common practice to derive a fourth order characteristic equation to describe the longitudinal motion, and then factorise it approximately into a high frequency mode and a low frequency mode.

Chains are not really cylinders of uniform diameter and material, and so in longitudinal motion relative to another chain (as in a crystal) a combination of oscillation and translation must occur.

In a synchrotron the transverse motion of the particles is easily damped by synchrotron radiation, which has a short pulse length and wide bandwidth, but the longitudinal motion can only be increased by simple devices (see for example Free electron laser).

Then the longitudinal motion is stopped and reversed, and the particle is reflected back towards regions of weaker field, the guiding center now retracing its previous motion along the field line, with the particle's transverse velocity decreasing and its longitudinal velocity increasing.
