Free undamped vibrations

Whenever an object/system displaces in either side of its equilibrium position with the help of an external/internal means, then the object/system moves regularly or randomly on both sides of its equilibrium position. This motion is called vibration. Generally, there are three types of vibration: longitudinal vibration, transverse vibration, and torsional vibration.
