  2. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Coulomb damping dissipates energy constantly because of sliding friction. The magnitude of sliding friction is a constant value; independent of surface area, displacement or position, and velocity. The system undergoing Coulomb damping is periodic or oscillating and restrained by the sliding friction.

  3. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The effect of varying damping ratio on a second-order system. The damping ratio is a parameter, usually denoted by ζ (Greek letter zeta), [7] that characterizes the frequency response of a second-order ordinary differential equation. It is particularly important in the study of control theory. It is also important in the harmonic oscillator ...

    viscous damping coefficient kilogram per second (kg/s) electric displacement field also called the electric flux density coulomb per square meter (C/m 2) density: kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m 3) diameter: meter (m) distance: meter (m) direction: unitless impact parameter meter (m)

  5. Electric-field screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-field_screening

    It is a Coulomb potential multiplied by an exponential damping term, with the strength of the damping factor given by the magnitude of k 0, the Debye or Thomas–Fermi wave vector. Note that this potential has the same form as the Yukawa potential .

    Dependence of the system behavior on the value of the damping ratio ζ Phase portrait of damped oscillator, with increasing damping strength. Video clip demonstrating a damped harmonic oscillator consisting of a dynamics cart between two springs. An accelerometer on top of the cart shows the magnitude and direction of the acceleration.

  8. 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.

  9. Earthquake engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_engineering

    The stones of the dry-stone walls built by the Incas could move slightly and resettle without the walls collapsing, a passive structural control technique employing both the principle of energy dissipation (coulomb damping) and that of suppressing resonant amplifications. [25]
