 Standing Waves
The standing waves associated with resonance in air columns have been discussed mainly in terms of the displacement of air in the columns.
The behavior of the waves at the points of minimum and maximum vibrations (nodes and antinodes) contributes to the constructive interference which forms the resonant standing waves.
The term standing wave is often applied to a resonant mode of an extended vibrating object.

 Standing wave ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In telecommunication, standing wave ratio (SWR) is the ratio of the amplitude of a partial standing wave at an antinode (maximum) to the amplitude at an adjacent node (minimum).
To understand the standing wave ratio in detail, we need to calculate the voltage (or, equivalently, the electrical field strength) at any point along the transmission line at any moment in time.
where A is the amplitude of the forward wave, ω is its angular frequency and k is a constant (equal to ω divided by the speed of the wave).

 Art. 11. Miscellaneous. 67. Constitutions, By-laws, Rules of Order, and Standing Rules
Resolved, That the meetings of this society from April 1 to September 30 shall begin at 7:30 P. M., and during the rest of the year at 8 P. No standing rule, or resolution, or motion is in order that conflicts with the constitution, or by-laws, or rules of order, or standing rules.
By-laws in the nature of rules of order may be suspended by a two-thirds vote, as stated in 22.
Societies should, therefore, adopt some generally accepted rules of order, or parliamentary manual, as their authority, and then adopt only such special rules of order as are needed to supplement their parliamentary authority.

Other megaliths in the vicinity, now thought to have been part of the original complex, are the Watchstone, a massive slab of stone that towers over the Brig o' Brodgar, and the Barnhouse Stone, a solitary stone to the south-east, between Maeshowe and the Standing Stones.
This hearth was constructed from four large stone slabs, and, according to Dr Colin Richards, was transplanted from the nearby Barnhouse settlement to the centre of the stone ring.
The stone circle was originally surrounded by a deep rock-cut ditch (six metres across and 2.4 metres deep), outside of which was a sub stan tial earth bank.

Standing waves are a phenomenon of interference between two traveling waves of the same wavelength moving in opposite directions.
Remember that a standing wave appears stationary to the naked eye - although there is obvious motion in the wave, the profile or shape of the wave does not change.
Typically, a traveling wave is generated at one end of a linear system, and the oppositely moving traveling wave is obtained by reflection at the other end, only to be reversed again by reflection when it reaches the sending end.

 Definition: standing wave
standing wave: In a transmission line, a wave in which the distribution of current, voltage, or field strength is formed by the superposition of two waves propagating in opposite directions, and which wave is characterized by a series of nodes (maxima) and anti-nodes (minima) at fixed points along the transmission line.
Note: A standing wave may be formed when a wave is transmitted into one end of a transmission line and is reflected from the other end by an impedance mismatch, i.e.

 NCSL Standing Committee
Standing Committees meet three times each year and allow legislators and staff to benefit from the experiences of other states in shaping public policy, experimenting with new laws, and managing the legislative institutions.
As a result of those policy decisions voted on by the Standing Committees, NCSL is nationally recognized as a formidable lobbying force in state-federal relations.
NCSL has 15 Standing Committees (see list on the right) composed of state legislators and legislative staff.

In Mesopotamia standing armies using spears and bows were created as early as 3200 bc, and about 2500 bc warfare was revolutionized with the introduction of chariots drawn by asses and horses (see Cavalry).
Army, military land forces of a nation, assembled, drilled, disciplined, and equipped for offense and defense in maneuvers in warfare.
In prehistoric and early historic times, armies as such did not exist; armed forces consisted of groups engaged sporadically in combat for the purpose of defending or acquiring land desired for hunting or pasture.

 Standing ovation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Standing ovations are considered to be a special honor.
A standing ovation is a form of applause where members of a seated audience stand up while applauding.
The level of audience approval is measured first by how many in the audience actually stand, second the length of time that the standing and applause continues, and third (over the course of an event) by the number of ovations given.

A well made complex foot setup must be capable of standing still on the ground while moving the body, and doing other tricky stuff like standing on tiptoe, moving the toes, etc. Now we're going to discuss several different foot setups that can be used for different purposes.
Bad foot setup may lead to the well known "sliding-feet" effect, which is very annoying and usually ruins the whole animation.
When you move the upper leg the foot stands still.

Foot pain, ankle pain, or lower leg pain (especially in children) may be a result of flat feet and should be evaluated by a health care provider.
If an arch develops when the patient stands on their toes, then the flat foot is called flexible and no treatment or further work-up is necessary.
Examination of the foot is sufficient for the health care provider to make the diagnosis of flat foot.

 Standing Sound Waves
For standing sound waves, the wave medium is typically air, and the waves themselves are longitudinal, corresponding to regions of compression and rarefaction of the air.
We add a node to the standing wave pattern of the third harmonic, and demand that the nodes and antinodes are evenly spaced along the length of the tube.
Standing sound waves in a pipe, open at one end and closed at the other end, differ from standing waves on a string.

 Standing Waves by John Newgard - Surfing Vancouver Island ..... cold water surfing in Canada
This part feels just like catching a "normal" progressive wave, the only difference being that, though you and the wave have roughly the same relative speed as when you're paddling into a progressive wave, you happen to be moving toward the wave and the wave is standing still.
It is quite feasible to locate and surf a rideable standing wave, providing a great means of staying in touch with your board during the spring/summer doldrums.
Most surfers would be able to recognize a suitable standing wave, as it is similar in appearance to a progressive wave, i.e.

The standing wave pattern which is shown at the right is just one of many different patterns which could be produced within the rope.
It is possible however to have a wave confined to a given space in a medium and still produce a regular wave pattern which is readily discernible amidst the motion of the medium.
This sine wave pattern continues to move in uninterrupted fashion until it encounters another wave along the medium or until it encounters a boundary with another medium.

 Standing Waves and Wind Instruments
In fact, the waves that "fit" the tube are the ones that have antinodes at the open end, so the air is in fact rushing back and forth there, causing waves (at the same frequency as the standing wave) that are not trapped in the instrument but can go out into the room.
Any standing wave with a displacement antinode at both ends is allowed, but the lower harmonics are usually the easiest to play and the strongest harmonics in the timbre.
It's pretty easy to see why the standing waves on a string can only have certain lengths; since the ends of the strings are held in place, there has to be a node in the wave at each end.
