For Resonance we have terms and definitions in 7 topics. The topics are Audio Technology, Car Engine, Classical Music, Ham Radio, MRI, Poetry and Vibration.

Resonance (Audio Technology)

A reinforcement of sound due to echoes adding in phase with the original source. In general, a motion or electrical or other response at a frequency where a system responds much more strongly than at other frequencies. The higher the system Q, the narrower the frequency band where the response is strong.

Resonance (Car Engine)

Unfavorable oscillatory behavior (e.g., slow single step response and settling times) caused by mechanical limitations.

Resonance (Classical Music)

When several strings are tuned to harmonically related pitches, all strings vibrate when only one of the strings is struck.

Resonance (Ham Radio)

A condition where Xc = XL, establishing a resonant circuit - used for selectivity (parallel circuit) or a maximum impedance circuit (series)
reset applies to when a repeater timer is reset back to zero and normally occurs when the carrier of the transmitter drops.

Resonance (MRI)

A large amplitude vibration in a mechanical or electrical system caused by a relatively small periodic stimulus with a frequency at or close to a natural frequency of the system. The exchange of energy at a particular frequency between two systems. ROI - see Region Of Interest.

Resonance (Poetry)

The quality of richness or variety of sounds in poetic texture, as in Milton's:
and the thunder . . . ceases now
To bellow through the vast and boundless Deep.
(See also Alliteration, Assonance, Consonance)
(Compare Euphony)

Resonance (Vibration)

Resonance occurs when the frequency of excitation is equal to the natural frequency of the system. When this happens, the amplitude of vibration increases and is only limited by the amount of damping present in the isolation system.
