ANSI S2.1-2000 ANSI/ISO 2041-1990
Vibration and Shock - Vocabulary
This standard provides definitions for a relatively comprehensive compilation of terms used in the fields related to the theory and practice of (mechanical) vibration and shock, including the transducers and other instrumentation used to sens, measure and record the parameters by means of which the dynamics of rigid and flexible bodies are characterized and the data-processing techniques and methods used to analyze the motions and stresses caused by vibration and shock. It is intended to complement ANSI S1.1-1994, Acoustical Terminology in which terms in acoustics are defined, including, at present, a selection of terms from the fields of mechanical vibration and shock given in this Standard. The principal terms and definitions used in the mathematical fields associated with the analysis of the motions and stresses caused by the application of vibratory and shock forces to rigid and flexible bodies are given in two annexes to the Standard. A schema for arranging the terms in the fields of vibration and shock is described in a third annex. An alphabetical index is provided.
