Crackle (physics)

Crackle is the facetious name of a high-order derivative, and more specifically, the fifth derivative of the displacement. There is little consensus on what to call derivatives past the 4th derivative, jounce, due to there being few well-defined practical applications. The terms are, however, utilized within the fields of robotics & human motion.
