  2. 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 ...

  3. Vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration

    Vibration (from Latin vibrāre 'to shake') is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point.Vibration may be deterministic if the oscillations can be characterised precisely (e.g. the periodic motion of a pendulum), or random if the oscillations can only be analysed statistically (e.g. the movement of a tire on a gravel road).

  4. Campbell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_diagram

    Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to safely ignore it. Analytically computed values of eigenfrequencies as a function of the shaft's rotation speed.

  5. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    The in-plane vibration will be excited by turning the sample 90° on the axis parallel to its length. The natural frequency of this flexural vibration mode is characteristic for the dynamic Young's modulus. To minimize the damping of the test-piece, it has to be supported at the nodes where the vibration amplitude is zero.

  6. Modal analysis using FEM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_analysis_using_FEM

    The goal of modal analysis in structural mechanics is to determine the natural mode shapes and frequencies of an object or structure during free vibration.It is common to use the finite element method (FEM) to perform this analysis because, like other calculations using the FEM, the object being analyzed can have arbitrary shape and the results of the calculations are acceptable.

  7. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    Phase portrait of damped oscillator, with increasing damping strength. All real-world oscillator systems are thermodynamically irreversible. This means there are dissipative processes such as friction or electrical resistance which continually convert some of the energy stored in the oscillator into heat in the environment. This is called damping.

  8. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    controls the amount of non-linearity in the restoring force; if =, the Duffing equation describes a damped and driven simple harmonic oscillator, γ {\displaystyle \gamma } is the amplitude of the periodic driving force; if γ = 0 {\displaystyle \gamma =0} the system is without a driving force, and

  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.
