  2. 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:

  3. Arterial line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_line

    An arterial line (also art-line or a-line) is a thin catheter inserted into an artery. Use ... thereby making insertion of the arterial line somewhat easier. Often ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Anchor losses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_losses

    In physical systems, damping is the loss of energy of an oscillating system by dissipation. [1] In the field of micro-electro-mechanicals, the damping is usually measured by a dimensionless parameter Q factor (Quality factor). A higher Q factor indicates lower damping and reduced energy dissipation, which is desirable for micro-resonators as it ...

  6. Lorentz oscillator model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_oscillator_model

    The damping force ensures that the oscillator's response is finite at its resonance frequency. For a time-harmonic driving force which originates from the electric field, Newton's second law can be applied to the electron to obtain the motion of the electron and expressions for the dipole moment, polarization, susceptibility, and dielectric ...

  7. Compliance (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_(physiology)

    Reduced arterial compliance is also seen in patients with diabetes and also in smokers. It is actually a part of a vicious cycle that further elevates blood pressure, aggravates atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and leads to increased cardiovascular risk. Arterial compliance can be measured by several techniques.

  8. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    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. Modal analysis

  9. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    The line of constant damping just described spirals in indefinitely but in sampled data systems, frequency content is aliased down to lower frequencies by integral multiples of the Nyquist frequency. That is, the sampled response appears as a lower frequency and better damped as well since the root in the z -plane maps equally well to the first ...
