Sparse Wavenumber Analysis (SWA) Repository

Sparse Wavenumber Analysis (SWA) is a signal processing algorithm designed to extract high-resolution wavenumber information from spatial wavefield measurements—especially when that data is sparse, noisy, or irregularly sampled. Developed by Dr. Joel B. Harley and collaborators, SWA enables researchers and engineers to analyze wave propagation with unprecedented clarity, even in situations where traditional Fourier-based methods fall short.

Listening to the Plate: How Lamb Waves Quietly Reveal the Structure of Materials

Guided waves like Lamb modes are reshaping how we inspect, model, and understand solid materials — all by listening to vibrations within the structure itself.

If you’ve never heard of Lamb waves, you’re not alone. Though they’ve been known to physicists and engineers for over a century, they remain surprisingly underdiscussed outside specialized fields like non-destructive testing, ultrasonics, and solid mechanics. But behind the scenes, Lamb waves are playing a crucial role — helping us understand how materials behave, age, and break, all through the language of wave motion.
