The following plots are all for a system that begins at rest with zero initial velocity: u(0,x)=u_t(,x)=0. Each plot is tagged by the associated dispersion relation.

The Mathematica document used to make these vidoes is available here. These videos are also available on YouTube.


The Bidirectional Lamb Model

The wave equation on the whole line:   ω=ck


The Periodic Lamb Model

The wave equation on a periodic domain:   ω=ck
