1. A temporary condition or phase that exists for a limited time before changing to another state; commonly used in physics, engineering, and systems analysis to describe behavior that occurs before reaching steady state
The electrical circuit experienced a transient state when the switch was first closed, with voltage fluctuations occurring before stabilizing.
O circuito elétrico experimentou um estado transitório quando a chave foi fechada, com flutuações de tensão ocorrendo antes de se estabilizar.
2. In systems theory, the initial response period of a system to a change in input or conditions
During the transient state of the mechanical system, oscillations were observed before reaching equilibrium.
Durante o estado transitório do sistema mecânico, oscilações foram observadas antes de atingir o equilíbrio.
