Resonance as a phenomenon
Resonance, An object free to vibrate tends to do so at a
specific rate called the object's natural, or resonant, frequency.
(This frequency depends on the size, shape, and composition
of the object.) Such an object will vibrate strongly when it is
subjected to vibrations or regular impulses at a frequency
equal to or very close to its natural frequency. This
phenomenon is called resonance. Through resonance, a
comparatively weak vibration in one object can cause a strong
vibration in another. By analogy, the term resonance is also
used to describe the phenomenon by which an oscillating
electric current is strengthened by an electric signal of a
specific frequency.
An example of resonance is provided by a motor that causes
vibration in a piece of furniture in another part of the same
house. These vibrations occur because the furniture has a
natural frequency equal to the frequency of the vibrations set
up by the motor. The furniture is said to be in resonance with
the motor. Resonance can also be observed in an automobile
when a certain partan ash tray, for examplevibrates when the
car is traveling at a certain speed. The ash tray is in resonance
with the vibrations of the engine at that speed.
Failure of the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge[edit]
Major examples:
The dramatic, rhythmic twisting that resulted in the 1940
collapse of "Galloping Gertie", the original Tacoma Narrows
Bridge, is sometimes characterized in physics textbooks as a
classic example of resonance.
Bartons pendulum
A Barton's Pendulums experiment demonstrates the physical
phenomenon of resonance and the response of pendulums to
vibration at, below and above their resonant frequencies. In its

Mathematical Description
the 2nd has one of twice the natural frequency and the 3rd is at resonance,
namely, the driving and natural frequencies are identical. We could see
that the 3rd pendulums performance is pronounced.
To illustrate this still further, the three pendulum, instead of driving the
suspension point continuously, we give it a "kick", a single oscillation that
returns it to its original position. Again, the response at resonance is the
most pronounced

Transient phenomena
Transient phenomena occur in the driven oscillator with damping in the
time between when the driving force on (at t=0) and before the steady state
vibrations are established.
They are characterized by the presence of both the natural vibrations of a
system and the driving vibrations, so the system vibrates at two, generally
different, frequencies. On the other hand, the steady state vibrates only at
the driving frequency with no natural vibrations present.
This equation may not be easy to explain the displacement precisely at the
initial condition. We break the equation into various case and use
superposition method and then tailor the equation to fit the initial
conditons ( at t=0, x=0 and
). Thus we obtain:
