English term or phrase: bending wave
Definition from Internat. Electrotechnical Commission:
transverse wave in a plate or bar, being a combination of compressional and shear wave

Example sentence(s):
  • Many types of sound waves, or acoustic modes, can be propagated in glass plates. The acoustic mode most efficiently excited by a finger touch is a bending wave. BNP Media
  • The goal of the Hybrid Acoustically Layered Foil (HALF) Foam concept was to excite bending waves within the plane of the foil to cause interparticle interactions thus increasing the transmission loss of the foam. 48th AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC conference
  • Bending waves are important for structure born sound. Bending waves progress in walls and plates. engineeringpage.com

onde de flexion


Definition from CEI - Commission Electrotechnique:
onde transversale, dans une plaque ou une barre, qui est la combinaison d'ondes inotationnelles et rotationnelles

Example sentence(s):
  • Dans un premier temps, nous avons validé le code dans le cas d’une barre. L’équation de propagation de l’onde de flexion dans une barre diffère cependant de celle dans une plaque par l’introduction d’un coefficient qui prend en compte l’effet de Poisson (lorsque la barre est soumise à un effort, la surface de la section droite ne reste pas constante). - Thèse de doctorat  
  • On montre notamment qu'une plaque, dont l'épaisseur décroît suivant une loi parabolique, a la propriété d'absorber totalement une onde de flexion incidente. - INIST-Propagation d'une onde de flexion
