PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Vibration Engineering,
    including vibrating systems, mass, stiffness, damping, displacement,
    velocity, acceleration, natural frequency, mode shapes, excitation,
    forcing frequency, resonance, transmissibility, isolation, free and
    forced vibration, transient and steady-state response, single and
    multi-degree-of-freedom systems, modal analysis, measurements,
    provenance, uncertainty, confidence and recursive vibration reasoning.

CORE_DEFINITION
    Vibration Engineering is the analysis, measurement, control and design
    of mechanical or structural systems that undergo oscillatory motion,
    including the effects of mass, stiffness, damping, excitation,
    resonance, natural frequencies and mode shapes.

    Critical Distinction
        Vibration engineering relates mass, stiffness, damping and
        excitation to oscillatory response, but natural frequency is not
        forcing frequency, resonance is not synonymous with all vibration,
        damping is not stiffness and vibration isolation does not mean
        complete elimination of transmitted vibration.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Vibration Engineering analyses and controls oscillatory mechanical and
    structural behaviour. It uses mass, stiffness, damping, natural
    frequencies, mode shapes and excitation to predict and measure free,
    forced, transient and steady-state response. Reliable vibration
    reasoning preserves boundary conditions, frequency conventions, sensor
    locations, units and provenance while distinguishing natural from
    forcing frequencies, resonance from general vibration and isolation
    from complete vibration elimination.
