    The document discusses basic terminology in vibrations. It defines vibrations as the oscillating motion of elastic bodies and the forces associated with them. It notes that all bodies with mass and elasticity are capable of vibrations. It also outlines that vibrational systems can be characterized as either linear or nonlinear, and defines free and forced vibrations.

    BASIC TERMINOLOGY IN VIBRATIONS


    Oscillating Motions :

    The study of vibrations is concerned with the oscillating motion of elastic bodies and the force associated with them. All bodies possessing mass and elasticity are capable of vibrations. Most engineering machines and structures experience vibrations to some degree and their design generally requires consideration of their oscillatory motions. Oscillatory systems can be broadly characterized as linear or nonlinear. Linear systems : The principle of superposition holds Mathematical technique available for their analysis are well developed. Nonlinear systems : The principle of superposition doesn't hold The technique for the analysis of the nonlinear systems are under development (or less well known) and difficult to apply. All systems tend to become nonlinear with increasing amplitudes of oscillations. There are two general classes of vibrations free and forced.
