Transmissibility may have several meanings: *

Transmissibility (vibration) Transmissibility is the ratio of output to input. It is defined as the ratio of the force transmitted to the force applied. Transmitted force implies the one which is being transmitted to the foundation or to the body of a particular system. Ap ...

Transmissibility (electromagnetism) The Fresnel equations (or Fresnel coefficients) describe the reflection and transmission of light (or electromagnetic radiation in general) when incident on an interface between different optical media. They were deduced by Augustin-Jean Fresne ...

* Transmissivity, fluid flow in porous media *

Transmissibility (structural dynamics) Transmissibility, in the context of Structural Dynamics, can be defined as the ratio of the maximum force (f_) on the floor as a result of the vibration of a machine to the maximum machine force (P_0): :TR = \frac = R_d\sqrt{1+(2\zeta\beta)^2} :Wh ...

In most contexts, transmissibility is related to permeability. In medicine, transmissibility is a synonym for

basic reproduction number In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number, or basic reproductive number (sometimes called basic reproduction ratio or basic reproductive rate), denoted R_0 (pronounced ''R nought'' or ''R zero''), of an infection is the expected number of ...
