Vibration definition

Vibration means an oscillatory motion of solid bodies of deterministic or random nature described by displacement, velocity or acceleration with respect to a given reference point.
Vibration means mechanical energy transmitted to a person’s body from a source of oscillations and is harmful to health or otherwise dangerous;
Vibration means a permanent effect resulting from airframe interaction with rotor, engine or transmission, as opposed to buffet which is a transient vibration effect resulting from either pilot action or aerodynamic effect on the airframe.
