If you're interested, there's a physics professor at Duke University named Stephen Teitsworth who did/does research in this particular area of research (quoted from his web page): "the experimental search for quantum chaos effects in vibrating metal plates using holographic interferometry." I remember seeing some of his results in the form of neat graphical representations of the vibrations in different shaped metal sheets. I don't remember if there were any conclusions. When I get a chance, I can try to find if there are any publications. However, as with most basic physics research, it will likely be more "interesting" than "useful". Charles Neuman Plainview, NY
