  2. Response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_spectrum

    A series of mixed vertical oscillators A plot of the peak acceleration for the mixed vertical oscillators. A response spectrum is a plot of the peak or steady-state response (displacement, velocity or acceleration) of a series of oscillators of varying natural frequency, that are forced into motion by the same base vibration or shock.

  3. Shock response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_response_spectrum

    A Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) [1] is a graphical representation of a shock, or any other transient acceleration input, in terms of how a Single Degree Of Freedom (SDOF) system (like a mass on a spring) would respond to that input. The horizontal axis shows the natural frequency of a hypothetical SDOF, and the vertical axis shows the peak ...

  4. Campbell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_diagram

    Such a chart can be used in turbine design. Experimentally measured vibration response spectrum as a function of the shaft's rotation speed ( waterfall plot ), the peak locations for each slice usually corresponding to the eigenfrequencies .

  5. Shock (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(mechanics)

    Shock is a vector that has units of an acceleration (rate of change of velocity). The unit g (or g ) represents multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity and is conventionally used. A shock pulse can be characterised by its peak acceleration, the duration, and the shape of the shock pulse (half sine, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.).

  6. Random vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_vibration

    Some common examples include an automobile riding on a rough road, wave height on the water, or the load induced on an airplane wing during flight. Structural response to random vibration is usually treated using statistical or probabilistic approaches. Mathematically, random vibration is characterized as an ergodic and stationary process.

  7. Pseudorapidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorapidity

    A boost of velocity along the beam-axis of velocity corresponds to an additive change in rapidity of using the relation = ⁡. Under such a Lorentz transformation , the rapidity of a particle will become y ′ = y + y boost {\\displaystyle y'=y+y_{\\text{boost}}} and the four-momentum becomes

  8. Pseudovector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudovector

    From the definition, it is clear that a displacement vector is a polar vector. The velocity vector is a displacement vector (a polar vector) divided by time (a scalar), so is also a polar vector. Likewise, the momentum vector is the velocity vector (a polar vector) times mass (a scalar), so is a polar vector.

  9. Modal testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_testing

    Modal impact hammer with interchangeable tips and accompanying temporal and frequency responses. An ideal impact to a structure is a perfect impulse, which has an infinitely small duration, causing a constant amplitude in the frequency domain; this would result in all modes of vibration being excited with equal energy.
