Resonanssista
Resonanssi is a Finnish term that translates to resonance in English. It refers to the phenomenon where an object or system vibrates with greater amplitude when subjected to an external force at its natural frequency. This natural frequency is a characteristic of the object itself, determined by its physical properties such as mass, size, and stiffness. When the driving frequency of the external force matches this natural frequency, the system efficiently absorbs energy, leading to amplified vibrations.
The concept of resonance is fundamental in many areas of science and engineering. In physics, it explains
Conversely, resonance can also be intentionally dampened or avoided. Engineers often employ damping mechanisms to dissipate
