Abstract
In this chapter, we review the physical cause of mechanical vibrations and discuss the mechanical elements of a vibrating system, as well as the kinematics of vibrations. We also examine the classical simplification methods to reduce a vibrating system to its equivalent standard mass-spring-damper system.
