Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

We consider two sound waves with different frequencies which have to the same amplitude. The wave functions of these waves are as follows: y1 (t) = A sin (2πf1t) y2 (t) = A sin (2πf2t) 5. Find the resultant wave function analytically. 6. Study how the resulting wave behaves in time. 7. Using any computer program, construct the wave dependency graph resultant y (t) from time t in the case when the frequencies of the two sound waves are many next to each other if the values are given: A = 1 m, f1 = 1000 Hz and f2 = 1050 Hz. Comment on the results from the graph and determine the value of the time when the waves are with the same phase and assemble constructively and the time when they are with phase of opposite and interfere destructively. 8. Doing the corresponding numerical simulations show what happens with the increase of the difference between the frequencies of the two waves and vice versa.

Please download the following worksheets, which show 4 separate grids. Each grid has two different waves (e.g., Wave and Wave B). Your goal is to draw the resulting wave (i.e., Wave C) if the two waves would have been superposed on top of each other. To do this, you'll need to add the two amplitudes (height of the Wave A and Wave B on the y-axis) at a given point on the x-axis to get the resulting one. For example, using number 3 as an example: a. At point 0 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of 0, so Wave C at point 0 would be 0. b. At point 4 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 6, and Wave B has an amplitude of 4, so Wave C at point 3 would have an amplitude of 10. c. At point 8 on the x axis. Wave A has an amplitdue of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of -4, so Wave C at point 8 would be -4. You do not have to find the points for every single point along the x-axis, but just enough to get the general shape of the resulting wave. Once you…
