Introduction

Mechanical vibration is the motion of a particle or body which
oscillates about a position of equilibrium. Most vibrations in
machines and structures are undesirable due to increased stresses
and energy losses.
Time interval required for a system to complete a full cycle of the
motion is the period of the vibration.
Number of cycles per unit time defines the frequency of the vibrations.
Maximum displacement of the system from the equilibrium position is
the amplitude of the vibration.
When the motion is maintained by the restoring forces only, the
vibration is described as free vibration. When a periodic force is applied
to the system, the motion is described as forced vibration.
When the frictional dissipation of energy is neglected, the motion
is said to be undamped. Actually, all vibrations are damped to
some degree.

Oscillations of the electrical system are analogous to

The analogy between electrical and mechanical
systems also applies to transient as well as steady-
state oscillations.
With a charge q = q
0
on the capacitor, closing the
switch is analogous to releasing the mass of the
mechanical system with no initial velocity at x = x
0
.
If the circuit includes a battery with constant voltage
E, closing the switch is analogous to suddenly
applying a force of constant magnitude P to the
mass of the mechanical system.

The governing equations are equivalent. The characteristics
of the vibrations of the mechanical system may be inferred
from the oscillations of the electrical system.
