noun
- 1. an instance of vibrating: "powerful vibrations from an earthquake"
noun. : a periodic motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium in alternately opposite directions from the position of equilibrium when that equilibrium has been disturbed (as when a stretched cord produces musical tones or molecules in the air transmit sounds to the ear)
Vibration (from Latin vibrāre 'to shake') is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point.
continuous quick, slight shaking movement: Vibrations were felt hundreds of miles from the centre of the earthquake. Aircraft manufacturers want to reduce vibration for the sake of safety. Fewer examples. The vibration can become irksome after a while. We know that prolonged exposure to vibration can weaken aircraft components.
the oscillating, reciprocating, or other periodic motion of a rigid or elastic body or medium forced from a position or state of equilibrium. the analogous motion of the particles of a mass of air or the like, whose state of equilibrium has been disturbed, as in transmitting sound.
Jul 8, 2024 · Vibration, periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium, commonly resulting when almost any physical system is displaced from its equilibrium condition and allowed to respond to the forces that tend to restore equilibrium. Vibrations fall into two categories: free.

A vibration is a shaking motion. If you feel a strong vibration in your car every time you step on the brakes, it might be a good idea to take it to a mechanic.
n. 1. a. The act of vibrating. b. The condition of being vibrated. 2. Physics. a. A rapid linear motion of a particle or of an elastic solid about an equilibrium position. b. A periodic process. 3. A single complete vibrating motion; a quiver. 4. Informal A distinctive emotional quality or atmosphere that is sensed or experienced by someone.
1. the act or an instance of vibrating. 2. physics. a. a periodic motion about an equilibrium position, such as the regular displacement of air in the propagation of sound. b. a single cycle of such a motion. 3. the process or state of vibrating or being vibrated.
