Every object has a characteristic frequency, or frequencies, at which it vibrates most, with the least input of energy. Those vibrations are associated with standing wave patterns called modes. When the Chladni plate, for instance, vibrates in one of its modes, a pattern appears in the sand on the plate.

Using a computerized instrument, cymatic therapists direct healing frequencies into the body to restore resonance and harmony. The healing frequencies are related to those emitted by a healthy organ or body part. Frequencies may be applied directly, or transmitted along acupuncture meridians.

Sound waves are longitudinal and travel in the direction of propagation of vibrations. The sound vibrations cause the plate to vibrate at the same frequency, which causes movement of the sand particles to form patterns of the sound generated.

Sound waves and pitch Because sound travels outwards from a central source, waves interact in interesting patterns. When the same pitch or frequency sound wave is produced from two sources, a pattern of interference is produced.

– Waves: The wave pattern is most often seen when looking at the ocean from above. However, you can also see wave pattern in nature when the wind blows through the grass. This complex spiral pattern, which has complex mathematical realities, also helps to maximize energy flows.

Spiral, meander, explosion, packing, and branching are the “Five Patterns in Nature” that we chose to explore.

Natural patterns include spirals, meanders, waves, foams, tilings, cracks, and those created by symmetries of rotation and reflection. Patterns have an underlying mathematical structure; indeed, mathematics can be seen as the search for regularities, and the output of any function is a mathematical pattern.

Hexagons are the most scientifically efficient packing shape, as bee honeycomb proves.

Hexagons are typically six straight sides of equal length. You may see snowflakes in that pattern. Beehives, ice crystals are other common occurrences of hexagon in real life.

In Euclidean geometry, a kite is a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other. In contrast, a parallelogram also has two pairs of equal-length sides, but they are opposite to each other instead of being adjacent.

The hexagon is the strongest shape known. Mythbusters even proclaim that “triangles are the strongest shape because any added force is evenly spread through all three sides”.

Triangle

The Triangle: The Triangle is one of the most solid geometrical shapes. But it points out also the weakest areas in hitting, locking, stances, moving and so on.

The load would tend to bend the upper parts of the circle into tighter curves and to stretch the lower part into a flatter curve, pushing the two support points apart. The efficiency of the triangle is lost; the triangle will be stronger.

The triangle is the strongest shape, capable of holding its shape, having a strong base, and providing immense support. Some of the world’s most famous architectural marvels like the Eiffel Tower, Great Pyramids of Giza, and the Louvre Pyramid use the support of triangles to make beautiful, durable structures.

The sphere is the strongest 3-d shape in nature and the arcs is the strongest structural shape. The reason for this is that stress is distributed equally along the arcs.

This leads me to my question: Are circles structurally sound because of very few sides, or very few corners? Well, the answer is “yes”. First of all, a closed loop with very few sides (defined as a mostly-straight segment) by definition has very few corners, and a circle is a special case with none.

A structure’s strength is derived from its shape and the materials it is constructed from. The strength of a structure is its capacity to withstand the forces that tend to break the structure or change its shape, according to PBS Learning Media. A triangle is considered the strongest structural shape.

With the pillars on the edges, the V-shaped load distributors, and the light mass of the building, the corners are the weakest part of the building.

The foundation is typically the strongest part of a building as it holds up the weight of the structure. Foundations are usually made from a stone or concrete component which is high strength.
