Transfer mobility is the frequency-response function formed by the ratio, in metres per newton second, of the velocity-response phasor at point i to the excitation forces phasor applied at point j with all points other than j allowed to respond freely without any constraints other than those constraints which represent the normal support of the structure in its intended application. 1, record 1, English, - transfer%20mechanical%20mobility

La mobilité de transfert est la fonction de réponse en fréquence constituée par le rapport, exprimé en mètre par newton seconde, du vecteur tournant de la réponse en vitesse au point i, au vecteur tournant de la force d'excitation appliquée au point j, tous les points autres que j pouvant répondre librement sans autre contrainte que celle que représente le support normal de la structure dans l'application prévue par cette structure. 1, record 1, French, - mobilit%C3%A9%20m%C3%A9canique%20de%20transfert

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Frequency-response functions are properties of linear dynamic systems which do not depend on the type of excitation function. Excitation can be harmonic, random, or transient functions of time. The test results obtained with one type of excitation can thus be used for predicting the response of the system to any other type of excitation. 1, record 2, English, - frequency%2Dresponse%20function

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les fonctions de réponse en fréquence sont des propriétés des systèmes dynamiques linéaires qui ne dépendent pas du type de fonction d'excitation. L'excitation peut être une fonction du temps harmonique, aléatoire ou transitoire. Les résultats d'essai obtenus avec un type d'excitation peuvent donc être utilisés pour prévoir la réponse du système à tout autre type d'excitation. 1, record 2, French, - fonction%20de%20r%C3%A9ponse%20en%20fr%C3%A9quence
