... You will recall that circular motion is the motion of an object in a curved path about an external axis. This week we will explore a similar situation. Rotational motion is motion of an object in a curved path about an internal axis. The word 'angular' is used to describe motion in a circular path. ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
