  2. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    Material damping or internal friction is characterized by the decay of the vibration amplitude of the sample in free vibration as the logarithmic decrement. The damping behaviour originates from anelastic processes occurring in a strained solid i.e. thermoelastic damping, magnetic damping, viscous damping, defect damping, ...

  3. Floor slip resistance testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_slip_resistance_testing

    ANSI/NFSI B101.1-2009 was allowed to expire because it's a static coefficient of friction test, which measures how slippery a floor is to someone standing still on it. All static tests, such as ASTM D2047, ASTM C1028, ASTM F1678 and ANSI/NFSI B101.1 have been shown to lack any correlation to real-world floor slip potential. [19]

    Reinforced concrete ~5%; Welded steel ~2%; Brick masonry ~10%; Methods to increase damping. One of the widely used methods to increase damping is to attach a layer of material with a high Damping Coefficient, for example rubber, to a vibrating structure.

  5. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    In this article, the following conventions and definitions are to be understood: The Reynolds number Re is taken to be Re = V D / ν, where V is the mean velocity of fluid flow, D is the pipe diameter, and where ν is the kinematic viscosity μ / ρ, with μ the fluid's Dynamic viscosity, and ρ the fluid's density.

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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:

  8. Wear coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_coefficient

    As can be estimated from weight loss and the density , the wear coefficient can also be expressed as: [2] K = 3 H W P L ρ {\displaystyle K={\frac {3HW}{PL\rho }}} As the standard method uses the total volume loss and the total sliding distance, there is a need to define the net steady-state wear coefficient:

  9. Viscous damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_damping

    In continuum mechanics, viscous damping is a formulation of the damping phenomena, in which the source of damping force is modeled as a function of the volume, shape, and velocity of an object traversing through a real fluid with viscosity. [1] Typical examples of viscous damping in mechanical systems include: Fluid films between surfaces
