  2. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    Their damping coefficients will usually be specified by torque per angular velocity. One can distinguish two kinds of viscous rotary dashpots: [3] Vane dashpots which have a limited angular range but provide a significant damping torque. The damping force is the result of one or multiple vanes moving through a viscous fluid and letting it flow ...

  3. 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:

  4. 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.

  5. 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:

  6. Damping torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_torque

    Air friction damping is created by a piston oscillating in and out of an air chamber. When the piston enters the chamber it causes compression, when it exits the chamber there is a force acting back against it. [3] This method is often used in the presence of a relatively weak electrical field, as air friction damping does not involve the use ...

  7. 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.

  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. Langevin dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langevin_dynamics

    If the main objective is to control temperature, care should be exercised to use a small damping constant . As grows, it spans from the inertial all the way to the diffusive regime. The Langevin dynamics limit of non-inertia is commonly described as Brownian dynamics. Brownian dynamics can be considered as overdamped Langevin dynamics, i.e ...
