Hey guys,
There's been many discussions here and on other forums concerning barrel vibrations, nodes, where to rest the barrel, etc. I recently ran across an old but excellent Bell Labs video on wave behavior which is exactly what barrel vibrations are. The video is about 26 minutes long, but the guy is an excellent instructor. Even if you're familiar with wave behavior I think you'll enjoy the video, resulting in a better understanding of the subject. BTW, another example of applying wave theory that affects most if not all of us is when we or the service technician connects up home video and audio equipment and needs to be concerned about proper signal termination and impedance matching. Of course, musicians are also constantly dealing with and utilizing vibrations (waves).
