The natural sway motion of people walking caused small sideways oscillations in the bridge.

One way to simplify analysis is to consider only small oscillations about otherwise steady flight conditions.

(However, an optimal solution need not have a first step and could start with an infinite number of small 'oscillations'.)

Since then smaller oscillations have taken place.

Hinkelmann did so by removing small oscillations from the numerical model during initialization.

The period of small oscillations () is independent of their amplitude.

Thus a microseism is a small and long-continuing oscillation of the ground.

At ground level, atmospheric tides can be detected as regular but small oscillations in surface pressure with periods of 24 and 12 hours.

Vibrato is a small oscillation in the pitch of a note, usually considered expressive.

We wish to determine the period T of small oscillations in a simple pendulum.
