Abstract
An assemblage of coupled objects possessing inertia and elasticity is called a mechanical system. A mechanical system possesses inertia and elasticity. When a small disturbance is applied to a system, the propagation of this small disturbance through the medium of the system is called vibration. Most machines and engineering structures experience vibration in varying degrees.
