- Why does a bridge vibrate during an earthquake?
- How can a submarine remain acoustically undetectable underwater?
- Why do aircraft cabins become noisy at certain frequencies?
- How can engineered materials block or redirect sound waves?
- Why do nanoscale structures behave differently from large engineering systems?
The answers to all of these questions lie in the physics of vibrations, waves, and sound.
