(physics) Having a speed between that of the dilational wave and the shear wave.
We demonstrate that if the coefficient of friction is high enough, the sliding localizes within stick-slip pulses, which transform into opening waves propagating at intersonic speed in the direction of sliding or, for high Poisson's ratios, at supersonic speed in the opposite one.
Use intersonic when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Intersonic means (physics) Having a speed between that of the dilational wave and the shear wave.
The closest synonym depends on the sentence and intended sense.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
We demonstrate that if the coefficient of friction is high enough, the sliding localizes within stick-slip pulses, which transform into opening waves propagating at intersonic speed in the direction of sliding or, for high Poisson's ratios, at supersonic speed in the opposite one.
