The maximum displacement from equilibrium, indicating vibration intensity. Frequency: The speed of vibration ( ), measured in Hz, reflecting cycles per second.
Energy is gradually dissipated (by friction or resistance), causing vibration amplitude to decrease over time.
Occurs after an initial disturbance; the system oscillates at its natural frequency without external force.
The number of independent coordinates needed to define the system's motion. 4. Analysis & Applications
