Speed of Transverse Wave in a Thin Circular Rod Calculator

Calculate Transverse Wave Speed

GPa
Enter the material's Shear Modulus in GigaPascals (GPa).
kg/m3
Enter the material's Density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3).

Understand and calculate the speed of transverse waves in various materials with our online calculator. Whether you're studying physics, designing structures, or conducting material science experiments, this tool helps determine wave propagation based on the material's shear modulus and density for a thin circular rod.

Formula:

The speed of a transverse wave (v) in a thin circular rod is given by the formula:
v = √(G/ρ)
Where:

  • v = Speed of the transverse wave (m/s)
  • G = Shear Modulus of the material (Pa)
  • ρ = Density of the material (kg/m3)
