🌀 Can elastic waves tell us more about soft materials than a tensile test?
Our new study shows wave-based measurements distinguish models that static tests can't, opening doors to in vivo tissue characterization.

About 10 months ago, I thought of a mnemonic for which directions of particle motion constitute a Rayleigh wave and which directions of particle motion constitute a Love wave. I've now forgotten the mnemonic, which suggests it wasn't a very good mnemonic to start with. Sigh. #elasticwaves
