Les oscillations de relaxation sont des oscillations non linéaires, obtenues par augmentation continue d'une contrainte, puis relâchement subit de celle-ci. Lorsque la contrainte devient trop forte, la partie résistante cède brusquement, une partie de l'énergie est évacuée, la contrainte croît à nouveau et le cycle recommence. On peut illustrer cela par un filet d'eau qui remplit un récipient articulé autour d'un axe horizontal. Lorsque le récipient est plein, il devient instable et se vide d'un coup puis revient en place. 2, record 1, French, - oscillation%20de%20relaxation
