acoustotreams.AcousticMaterial.from_pratio

classmethod AcousticMaterial.from_pratio(rho=1.3, c=343, pratio=0.5)

Create acoustic material from Poisson’s ratio.

This function calculates the transverse speed of sound with \(c_t = c \sqrt{\frac{1 - 2\sigma}{2 - 2\sigma}}\).

Parameters:

• rho (complex, optional) – Mass density. Defaults to 1.3.

• c (complex, optional) – Longitudinal speed of sound. Defaults to 343.

• pratio (complex, optional) – Poisson’s ratio. Defaults to 0.5.

Returns:
