Longitudinal may refer to:
- Longitudinal engineLongitudinal engineIn automotive engineering, a longitudinal engine is an internal combustion engine in which the crankshaft is oriented along the long axis of the vehicle, front to back....
, an internal combustion engine in which the crankshaft is oriented along the long axis of the vehicle, front to back - Longitudinal modeLongitudinal modeFor the longitudinal mode of conduction of electric currents, see Common modeA longitudinal mode of a resonant cavity is a particular standing wave pattern formed by waves confined in the cavity. The longitudinal modes correspond to the wavelengths of the wave which are reinforced by constructive...
, a particular standing wave pattern of a resonant cavity formed by waves confined in the cavity - Longitudinal redundancy checkLongitudinal redundancy checkIn telecommunication, a longitudinal redundancy check or horizontal redundancy check is a form of redundancy check that is applied independently to each of a parallel group of bit streams...
, in telecommunication, a form of redundancy check that is applied independently to each of a parallel group of bit streams. - Longitudinal studyLongitudinal studyA longitudinal study is a correlational research study that involves repeated observations of the same variables over long periods of time — often many decades. It is a type of observational study. Longitudinal studies are often used in psychology to study developmental trends across the...
, a research study that involves repeated observations of the same items over long periods of time — often many decades - Longitudinal voltageLongitudinal voltageIn telecommunication, a longitudinal voltage is a voltage induced or appearing along the length of a transmission medium.Note 1: Longitudinal voltage may be effectively eliminated by using differential amplifiers or receivers that respond only to voltage differences, e.g., those between the wires...
, in telecommunication, a voltage induced or appearing along the length of a transmission medium - Longitudinal waveLongitudinal waveLongitudinal waves, as known as "l-waves", are waves that have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel, which means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as or the opposite direction to the motion of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves have been also...
, a wave with oscillations or vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel - Longitudinal/longitudinally are also anatomical terms of locationAnatomical terms of locationStandard anatomical terms of location are designations employed in science that deal with the anatomy of animals to avoid ambiguities that might otherwise arise. They are not language-specific, and thus require no translation...
