frequency of oscillation of an external force
1Oscillation — For other uses, see oscillator (disambiguation) and oscillation (mathematics). An undamped spring–mass system is an oscillatory system. Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a… …
2Atomic force microscope — The atomic force microscope (AFM) or scanning force microscope (SFM) is a very high resolution type of scanning probe microscope, with demonstrated resolution of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction… …
3Pilot-induced oscillation — occurs when the pilot of an aircraft inadvertently commands an often increasing series of corrections in opposite directions, each an attempt to cover the aircraft s reaction to the previous input with an overcorrection in the opposite direction …
4Neutron-star oscillation — Asteroseismology studies the internal structure of our Sun and other stars using oscillations. These can be studied by interpreting the temporal frequency spectrum acquired through observations[1]. In the same way, the more extreme neutron stars… …
5United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance — Not to be confused with Marine Division Reconnaissance. Main article: United States Marine Air Ground Task Force Reconnaissance Marine Force Reconnaissance The insignia of Force Recon …
6free oscillation — noun 1. : the oscillation of a body or system with its own natural frequency and under no external influence other than the impulse that initiated the motion called also free vibration; opposed to forced oscillation 2. : damped alternating… …
7Radio frequency — (RF) is a frequency or rate of oscillation within the range of about 3 Hz to 300 GHz. This range corresponds to frequency of alternating current electrical signals used to produce and detect radio waves. Since most of this range is beyond the… …
8mechanics — /meuh kan iks/, n. 1. (used with a sing. v.) the branch of physics that deals with the action of forces on bodies and with motion, comprised of kinetics, statics, and kinematics. 2. (used with a sing. v.) the theoretical and practical application …
9Pendulum — This article is about pendulums. For other uses, see Pendulum (disambiguation). Simple gravity pendulum model assumes no friction or air resistance …
10Quartz crystal microbalance — A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measures a mass per unit area by measuring the change in frequency of a quartz crystal resonator. The resonance is disturbed by the addition or removal of a small mass due to oxide growth/decay or film… …
