  2. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    It corresponds to the underdamped case of damped second-order systems, or underdamped second-order differential equations. [6] Damped sine waves are commonly seen in science and engineering, wherever a harmonic oscillator is losing energy faster than it is being supplied. A true sine wave starting at time = 0 begins at the origin (amplitude = 0).

  3. Logarithmic decrement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_decrement

    The logarithmic decrement can be obtained e.g. as ln(x 1 /x 3).Logarithmic decrement, , is used to find the damping ratio of an underdamped system in the time domain.. The method of logarithmic decrement becomes less and less precise as the damping ratio increases past about 0.5; it does not apply at all for a damping ratio greater than 1.0 because the system is overdamped.

  4. Prony's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prony's_method

    Similar to the Fourier transform, Prony's method extracts valuable information from a uniformly sampled signal and builds a series of damped complex exponentials or damped sinusoids. This allows the estimation of frequency, amplitude, phase and damping components of a signal.

  5. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    The Duffing equation (or Duffing oscillator), named after Georg Duffing (1861–1944), is a non-linear second-order differential equation used to model certain damped and driven oscillators. The equation is given by ¨ + ˙ + + = ⁡ (), where the (unknown) function = is the displacement at time t, ˙ is the first derivative of with respect to ...

  6. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    This is called the damped resonance frequency or the damped natural frequency. It is the frequency the circuit will naturally oscillate at if not driven by an external source. The resonance frequency, ω 0 , which is the frequency at which the circuit will resonate when driven by an external oscillation, may often be referred to as the undamped ...

  7. Duhamel's integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhamel's_integral

    If a system initially rests at its equilibrium position, from where it is acted upon by a unit-impulse at the instance t=0, i.e., p(t) in the equation above is a Dirac delta function δ(t), () = | = =, then by solving the differential equation one can get a fundamental solution (known as a unit-impulse response function)

  8. Landau damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landau_damping

    However these existence results do not say anything about which initial data could lead to such damped solutions. In a paper published by French mathematicians Cédric Villani and Clément Mouhot, [17] the initial data issue is solved and Landau damping is mathematically established for the first time for the non-linear Vlasov equation. It is ...

  9. Instantaneous phase and frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instantaneous_phase_and...

    Instantaneous phase and frequency are important concepts in signal processing that occur in the context of the representation and analysis of time-varying functions. [1] The instantaneous phase (also known as local phase or simply phase ) of a complex-valued function s ( t ), is the real-valued function:
