WHAT DOES ANHARMONIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Anharmonicity

In classical mechanics, anharmonicity is the deviation of a system from being a harmonic oscillator. An oscillator that is not oscillating in simple harmonic motion is known as an anharmonic oscillator where the system can be approximated to a harmonic oscillator and the anharmonicity can be calculated using perturbation theory. If the anharmonicity is large then other numerical techniques have to be used. As a result, oscillations with frequencies and etc., where is the fundamental frequency of the oscillator, appear. Furthermore, the frequency deviates from the frequency of the harmonic oscillations. As a first approximation, the frequency shift is proportional to the square of the oscillation amplitude: In a system of oscillators with natural frequencies, , ... anharmonicity results in additional oscillations with frequencies. Anharmonicity also modifies the profile of the resonance curve, leading to interesting phenomena such as the foldover effect and superharmonic resonance.

Definition of anharmonic in the English dictionary

The definition of anharmonic in the dictionary is of or concerned with an oscillation whose frequency is not an integral factor or multiple of the base frequency.
