Chladni patterns

Here we discuss Chladni patterns. This is a background page to the multimedia chapter Oscillations. For an introduction to the vibrational modes of plates and their relation to Chladni patterns, see Introduction to Chladni patterns.

• Movies (low resolution)
• Stills (high resolution)

These movies and stills were all made using a square aluminium plate excited by an electromechanical shaker at the centre point. You can hear the pitch change as the frequency is varied.
