    investigate and experimentally demonstrate the elastic wave filtering properties of graded undulated lattices. Square reticulates composed of curved beams are characterized by graded mechanical properties which result from the spatial modulation of the curvature parameter. Among such properties, the progressive formation of frequency bandgaps leads to strong wave attenuation over a broad frequency range. The experimental investigation of wave transmission and the detection of full wavefields effectively

    “others,”as the humans call them, set up five waves to eradicate the human race. Surviving the first wave wasn’t too difficult, it was, after all, just an EMP strike. The second wave really shook the world, literally. The aliens set the Earth’s tectonic plates in motion, causing thousands of off-the-chart earthquakes. The tsunamis that spurred from these quakes were detrimental; killing about 50 percent of the world’s overall population. The third wave proved to be the most emotionally devastating

    Part 1: Standing Waves on the Speed of Sound A pulley was attached to the end of a lab table. The total length of the string used in the experiment was measured before the first knot and weighed by a lab balance. The linear mass density was calculated using the following equation: µ= m/Lo. Then, the pre-measured string was tied to a string vibrator and a mass hanger (hanging from the pulley by the string) with the pulley parallel to the surface of the table. The length of the string that was able
