Theory of Vibration

The Theory of Vibration explains how objects oscillate or move back and forth in response to forces. When an object is disturbed—like a guitar string being plucked—it vibrates, creating sound waves and causing energy transfer. Vibrations can occur naturally, like in a pendulum, or due to external forces, such as an earthquake shaking buildings. Understanding vibrations helps engineers design stable structures, improve machinery performance, and enhance products like musical instruments. Essentially, it’s about how and why things move in cycles, impacting everything from everyday items to complex technologies.
