Type of Waves | Characteristics | Schematic of Wave Propagation |
---|---|---|
Longitudinal wave | Propagation through the medium in the same or opposite direction of particle vibration or oscillation. It is also called pressure waves. |

Transverse wave | Propagation through the medium in the direction perpendicular to particle oscillation direction. It is also called shear-mode waves. |

Lamb wave | It exists in thin plates, also called the plate wave, and the particle motion lies in the plane that is perpendicular to the plate and the propagation direction of the wave [25]. It is divided into symmetric waves and antisymmetric waves [24]. |
