  2. Viscous damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_damping

    In a single-degree-of-freedom system, viscous damping model relates force to velocity as shown below: = ˙ Where is the viscous damping coefficient with SI units of /.This model adequately describes the damping force on a body that is moving at a moderate speed through a fluid. [3]

  3. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Coulomb damping is a type of constant mechanical damping in which the system's kinetic energy is absorbed via sliding friction (the friction generated by the relative motion of two surfaces that press against each other). Coulomb damping is a common damping mechanism that occurs in machinery.

  4. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The damping ratio provides a mathematical means of expressing the level of damping in a system relative to critical damping. For a damped harmonic oscillator with mass m , damping coefficient c , and spring constant k , it can be defined as the ratio of the damping coefficient in the system's differential equation to the critical damping ...

  6. Damping matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_matrix

    In applied mathematics, a damping matrix is a matrix corresponding to any of certain systems of linear ordinary differential equations. A damping matrix is defined as follows. If the system has n degrees of freedom u n and is under application of m damping forces. Each force can be expressed as follows:

  7. Duhamel's integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhamel's_integral

    where m is the (equivalent) mass, x stands for the amplitude of vibration, t for time, c for the viscous damping coefficient, and k for the stiffness of the system or structure.

  8. Langevin equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langevin_equation

    Here, is the velocity of the particle, is its damping coefficient, and is its mass. The force acting on the particle is written as a sum of a viscous force proportional to the particle's velocity ( Stokes' law ), and a noise term η ( t ) {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\eta }}\left(t\right)} representing the effect of the collisions with the ...

  9. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.
