  2. 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 coefficient:

  3. Damping capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_capacity

    Damping capacity is a mechanical property of materials that measure a material's ability to dissipate elastic strain energy during mechanical vibration or wave propagation. When ranked according to damping capacity, materials may be roughly categorized as either high- or low-damping.

  4. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point...

    However, the liquid–vapor boundary terminates in an endpoint at some critical temperature T c and critical pressure p c. This is the critical point. The critical point of water occurs at 647.096 K (373.946 °C; 705.103 °F) and 22.064 megapascals (3,200.1 psi; 217.75 atm; 220.64 bar). [3] In the vicinity of the critical point

  5. Vibration isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_isolation

    Damping dissipates energy in the system, which reduces the vibration level which is transmitted at the natural frequency. The fluid in automotive shock absorbers is a kind of damper, as is the inherent damping in elastomeric (rubber) engine mounts. Damping is used in passive isolators to reduce the amount of amplification at the natural frequency.

  6. Critical exponent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_exponent

    source field (e.g. ⁠ P − P c / P c ⁠ where P is the pressure and P c the critical pressure for the liquid-gas critical point, reduced chemical potential, the magnetic field H for the Curie point) χ: the susceptibility, compressibility, etc.; ⁠ ∂ψ / ∂J ⁠ ξ: correlation length: d: the number of spatial dimensions ψ(x →) ψ(y ...

  7. Plasma stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_stability

    Critical issues include understanding and extending the stability limits through the use of a variety of plasma configurations, and developing active means for reliable operation near those limits. Accurate predictive capabilities are needed, which will require the addition of new physics to existing MHD models.

  8. Transcritical cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcritical_cycle

    Phase diagram of a generic fluid TQ diagram of heat introduction to a subcritical and transcritical cold source. In transcritical cycles, the pressure of the working fluid at the outlet of the pump is higher than the critical pressure, while the inlet conditions are close to the saturated liquid pressure at the given minimum temperature.

  9. Quantum critical point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_critical_point

    A quantum critical point is a point in the phase diagram of a material where a continuous phase transition takes place at absolute zero.A quantum critical point is typically achieved by a continuous suppression of a nonzero temperature phase transition to zero temperature by the application of a pressure, field, or through doping.
