Caused by external periodic, transient, or random forces (e.g., an unbalanced washing machine).
A theoretical condition where no energy is lost, and the system continues to oscillate indefinitely. 3. Key Components & Modeling Mass ( ): Inertia component resisting acceleration. Spring ( ): Elastic component providing restoring force, modeled by (Hooke's Law). Damper ( ): Energy dissipation element (e.g., shock absorber). mechanical vibration
Utilizing sensors (like accelerometers) on machinery to predict failures and monitor health. Caused by external periodic, transient, or random forces (e
Energy is gradually dissipated (by friction or resistance), causing vibration amplitude to decrease over time. Caused by external periodic
