Variations in the vibrational energy in the field of intense sound is considered. These variations are caused by a nonlinear transfer of the acoustic energy into energy of vibrational degrees of freedom in a relaxing gas. The final dynamic equation which describes this is instantaneous, it includes a quadratic nonlinear acoustic source reflecting the nonlinear character of interaction of high-frequency acoustic and non-acoustic motions in a gas. All types of sound, periodic or aperiodic, may serve as an acoustic source. Some conclusions about temporal behavior of the vibrational mode caused by periodic and aperiodic sounds are made.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Nonlinear Influence of Sound on the Vibrational Energy of Molecules in a Relaxing Gas}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/101576/PDF/12_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10168-012-0012-9}, keywords={relaxing gas, non-equilibrium media, nonlinear effects of sound}, }
