  2. Shock response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_response_spectrum

    Different damping ratios produce different SRSs for the same shock waveform. Zero damping will produce a maximum response. Very high damping produces a very boring SRS: A horizontal line. The level of damping is demonstrated by the "quality factor", Q which can also be thought of transmissibility in sinusoidal vibration case.

  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. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    In this expression, ε 1 and ε 2 are normal strains in the 1- and 2-direction and Υ 12 is the shear strain. σ 1 and σ 2 are the normal stresses and τ 12 is the shear stress. The orientation of the axes 1 and 2 in the above figure is arbitrary. This means that the values for E, G and v are the same in any material direction.

  5. 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.

  6. Transient response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response

    Damped oscillation is a typical transient response, where the output value oscillates until finally reaching a steady-state value. In electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, a transient response is the response of a system to a change from an equilibrium or a steady state. The transient response is not necessarily tied to abrupt ...

  7. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The damping ratio is a system parameter, denoted by ζ ("zeta"), that can vary from undamped (ζ = 0), underdamped (ζ < 1) through critically damped (ζ = 1) to overdamped (ζ > 1). The behaviour of oscillating systems is often of interest in a diverse range of disciplines that include control engineering , chemical engineering , mechanical ...

  8. Lorentz oscillator model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_oscillator_model

    The model is derived by modeling an electron orbiting a massive, stationary nucleus as a spring-mass-damper system. [2] [3] [4] The electron is modeled to be connected to the nucleus via a hypothetical spring and its motion is damped by via a hypothetical damper.

  9. Damping torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_torque

    Damping torque is provided by indicating instrument. Damper is a generic term used to identify any mechanism used for vibration energy absorption, the shaft vibration suppression, soft start and overload protection device. In order to design an efficient damper, it is imperative that the damping torque is calculated first.
