The tendency of a system to resist oscillation A decrease in the amplitude of an oscillation as a result of energy loss from asystem owing to frictional or other resistive forces. A degree of damping is desirable and necessary for accurate measurement, but toomuch...
Damping Ratio (or Coefficient) (ζ) A dimensionless parameter which describes how oscillations within a system can decay once a disturbance occursAs it is a dimensionless parameter it is described without...
Zero Damping(Damping Coefficient (ζ) = 0) 1 A theoretical situation in which the system oscillates in response to a step change in the input value and the amplitude of the oscillations does not diminish with time;The system is un-damped because the output value...
