  2. 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.

  3. Overshoot (signal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overshoot_(signal)

    The magnitude of overshoot depends on time through a phenomenon called "damping." See illustration under step response. Overshoot often is associated with settling time, how long it takes for the output to reach steady state; see step response. Also see the definition of overshoot in a control theory context.

  4. Settling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settling_time

    The settling time for a second order, underdamped system responding to a step response can be approximated if the damping ratio by = ⁡ () A general form is T s = − ln ⁡ ( tolerance fraction × 1 − ζ 2 ) damping ratio × natural freq {\displaystyle T_{s}=-{\frac {\ln({\text{tolerance fraction}}\times {\sqrt {1-\zeta ^{2}}})}{{\text ...

  5. 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. Transient response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response

    Here, the damping ratio is always equal to one. There should be no oscillation about the steady-state value in the ideal case. Overdamped An overdamped response is the response that does not oscillate about the steady-state value but takes longer to reach steady-state than the critically damped case. Here damping ratio is greater than one.

  7. Step response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_response

    A typical step response for a second order system, illustrating overshoot, followed by ringing, all subsiding within a settling time.. The step response of a system in a given initial state consists of the time evolution of its outputs when its control inputs are Heaviside step functions.

  8. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    = is called the "damping ratio". Step response of a damped harmonic oscillator; curves are plotted for three values of μ = ω 1 = ω 0 √ 1 − ζ 2. Time is in units of the decay time τ = 1/(ζω 0). The value of the damping ratio ζ critically determines the behavior of the system. A damped harmonic oscillator can be:

  9. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    A useful parameter is the damping factor, ζ, which is defined as the ratio of these two; although, sometimes ζ is not used, and α is referred to as damping factor instead; hence requiring careful specification of one's use of that term. [5].
