title: Universality of rescaled curvature distributions.
abstract: We applied a recently proposed rescaling of curvatures of eigenvalues of parameter-dependent random matrices to experimental data from acoustic systems and to a theoretical result. It is found that the data from four different experiments, ranging from isotropic plates to anisotropic three-dimensional objects, and the theoretical result always agree with the universal curvature distribution, if only the curvatures are rescaled such that the average of their absolute values is unity.
