  2. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the Rayleigh distribution is a continuous probability distribution for nonnegative-valued random variables. Up to rescaling, it coincides with the chi distribution with two degrees of freedom .

  3. Rayleigh fading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_fading

    Rayleigh fading is a statistical model for the effect of a propagation environment on a radio signal, such as that used by wireless devices.. Rayleigh fading models assume that the magnitude of a signal that has passed through such a transmission medium (also called a communication channel) will vary randomly, or fade, according to a Rayleigh distribution — the radial component of the sum of ...

  4. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    In numerical linear algebra, the Rayleigh–Ritz method is commonly [12] applied to approximate an eigenvalue problem = for the matrix of size using a projected matrix of a smaller size <, generated from a given matrix with orthonormal columns. The matrix version of the algorithm is the most simple:

  5. Buckingham π theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_π_theorem

    The technique of using the theorem ("the method of dimensions") became widely known due to the works of Rayleigh. The first application of the π theorem in the general case [note 1] to the dependence of pressure drop in a pipe upon governing parameters probably dates back to 1892, [2] a heuristic proof with the use of series expansions, to ...

  6. Rayleigh's quotient in vibrations analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh's_quotient_in...

    The example shows how the Rayleigh's quotient is capable of getting an accurate estimation of the lowest natural frequency. The practice of using the static displacement vector as a trial vector is valid as the static displacement vector tends to resemble the lowest vibration mode.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_acoustic_wave

    Experimental image of surface acoustic waves on a crystal of tellurium oxide [1]. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave traveling along the surface of a material exhibiting elasticity, with an amplitude that typically decays exponentially with depth into the material, such that they are confined to a depth of about one wavelength.
