The phenomenon of coincidence between an induced vibration in an object and a natural frequency of the object, generally leading to an enhanced amplitude of vibration. In the absence of damping the induced vibration may increase until catastrophic failure occurs.

The phenomenon of coincidence between an induced vibration in an object and a natural frequency of the object, generally leading to an enhanced amplitude of vibration. In the absence of damping the induced vibration may increase until catastrophic failure occurs.


Note: The natural frequency is called the resonant frequency.
