Grease both lubricates and keeps contaminants out of bearings. But its job is often made difficult by back-and-forth, or oscillatory, motion. Printing presses are a classic example: Frequent returns ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 35, No. 4 (Aug., 1998), pp. 1684-1708 (25 pages) This paper introduces a general technique for the construction of multistep methods capable of integrating, ...

A finite chain of particles with next-neighbor interactions, undergoing in-plane nonlinear oscillations with fixed-fixed boundary conditions is considered. In the most significant limiting case of low ...

When a particle, in a medium like water, is set into oscillatory motion, the neighbouring particles are also set into oscillatory motion due to the elastic forces. A wave disturbance starts spreading ...

Any motion which repeats itself at regular intervals of time is known as periodic motion. If a body moves back and forth repeatedly about its mean position then it is said to be in oscillatory motion.
