Vibration

The collapse of the Cypress Street Viaduct in 1989 was a disaster caused by an earthquake. On October 17, 1989 an earth quake occurred around the Santa Cruz bay area. The Cypress Street Viaduct was the first double-decker viaduct in California and it was made in 1955 – 1957 and it cost 100 million dollars. On October 17, 1989, the southern portion of the structure collapsed during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, due to ground movement and structural flaws. When in use, the upper and lower tier…

She explains that she can hear lower notes in the music and also feel the vibrations. Like many deaf people, she has small amounts of hearing and uses it to the full extent. She also says the vibrations help convey the emotion of the piece and move her throughout. Crystal Rolfe, senior audiologist at the Royal National Institute for Deaf People, states, “Someone who is deaf can sense sounds through vibrations. Depending on how much hearing they have, a person may also be able to hear some…

Senses are a vital necessity in human life. Senses consist of sight, sounds, smell, tastes, and texture. A main function of the senses is to maintain homeostasis. There are two senses; general and special. “General senses are those with receptors widely distributed throughout the body, including skin, various organs and joints” ( ,Pg. 444). “Special senses have more specialized receptors and are confined to structure in the head, such as eyes and ears”( ,Pg.444). Over time, scientists…

technology to soothe dogs with anxieties. Beyond an elegant design, the Zencrate is constructed to provide a safe place for dogs during anxiety attacks using a number of scientifically-proven strategies, including: sound therapy, proximity sensors, and vibration-dampening technology. Makers, Lightcap and Azevedo have forever changed the way pet lovers,…

Sue Savage-Rumbaugh is an American psychologist who tried, and succeeded, teaching an ape, bonobo, how to use a language. Animals can learn to use a language. One example is Kanzi, a 26-year-old male bonobo. Animals are more intelligent than we think, they don’t talk but they understand each other, scientists have been successful in teaching animals out language, and they can communicate in many different ways. Language is not just talking, in fact, it is how people or animals share their…

filled with a sticky fluid, similar to glue {3}. When it comes to hearing, vibrations travel through the three parts of the ear until they reach a portion of the inner ear called the cochlea. The cochlea resembles a snail’s shell and is responsible for converting vibrations into nerve impulses which can be sent to the brain and interpreted {4}. The fluid caused by glue ear affects this process as it dampens the vibrations and stops the ear drum from moving freely, so sounds cant be carried to…

Sound is the vibration of objects. We perceive sound as the ear drums move from the sound pressure. Then, this vibration is transformed into electrical impulses, which are sent to the brain. The transformation of the electrical impulse occurs inside the outer, the middle and the inner parts of the ears. The outer ear…

Sound and meditation are also very effective in raising your vibrational frequency. Music and chanting can lift you up and take you right into your soul. They can help you move into a state of relaxation, repair, detoxification, and rejuvenation. Music has been shown to facilitate mental and emotional balance, boost vitality, enhance learning and create balance in the autonomic nervous system. As John A. Logan so famously said: Music is the medicine of the mind. Dr. Georgi Lozanov, a Bulgarian…

tennis racket frame decreases grip vibrations”. They discussed that tennis elbow problem is often associated with vibrations initiated by the racket. To decrease the risk of this, racket design is focused on damping the vibration of the grip. They made design which will transmit vibration to the player's arm rather than restricting to the grip only. The purpose of their study was to investigate the effect of a damping element in a racket on the transition of vibrations from the frame to the…

sound waves enter our outer ear then travel through the ear canal into the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to the malleus, incus, and stapes (three tiny bones in the middle ear). Once in the middle ear the vibrations are sent to the cochlea of the inner ear, which is filled with fluid. The vibrations…
