Duhamel discovered that you could combine a pencil with a tuning fork in such a way that it reproduced the vibrations of the tuning fork as a wavy line. He did some preliminary work in the field of sound recording .

Duhamel did research in the field of partial differential equations . The Duhamel principle goes back to him. In particular, he published works on thermodynamics and analytical mechanics .
