Display Eigenmodes of Vibration#

This example applies the warp_by_vector filter to a cube whose eigenmodes have been computed using the Ritz method, as outlined in Visscher, William M., Albert Migliori, Thomas M. Bell, et Robert A. Reinert. “On the normal modes of free vibration of inhomogeneous and anisotropic elastic objects”. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 90, n.4 (October 1991): 2154-62. https://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/1.401643

First, let’s solve the eigenvalue problem for a vibrating cube. We use a crude approximation (by choosing a low max polynomial order) to get a fast computation.
