Why is sharpness of resonance inversely proportional to the damping force?
the further the frequency from the resonant one, greater would be the damping effect, hence greater the sharpness the lowre is the damping effect
Why are damping devices used on machinery?
Damping is the resistance offered by a body when a system is in vibration. But the basic use of a damper(damping) is to help reduce the oscillations or vibrations.we can also conclude that we use damping to slow down the effect of a moving part.Damping controls the amplitude of vibrations just to avoid resonance conditions.
Which type of damping occurs in automobile's suspensions?
critical damping.as in this damping it will retrieve its steady conditions faster in compare with other types of dampings.
What is a gradual loss of amplitude of an oscillator called?
The gradual loss of amplitude of an oscillator is called damping. Science book told me. =D
Why can better resolution be achieved with an optical microscope using blue light rather than red light?
because blue light travels further than red light in the spectrum of colours :)
What are the different methods of damping used in analog indicating instruments?
Damping torque can be provided by: (a) air friction damping (b) fluid friction damping (c) eddy current damping. In air friction damping, a light piston moves with a very small clearance in air chamber. The piston moves against pressure of air in air chamber. In fluid friction damping, light varies are attached to spindle of moving system. The movement of spindle is suppressed due to fluid friction, Eddy current damping is one of the most efficient method of damping. It is based on the principle that whenever a sheet of conducting but non magnetic material like copper or aluminum moves in magnetic field, eddy currents are induced.
What is negative damping?
It is the opposite of normal damping (oscillation decreases), so in negative damping to get even bigger oscillation.
Applications of critical damping?
critical damping is when the amount of damping is large enough for the system to return toequilibrium as fast as possible without performing oscillations. Hope thatHELPED
What is the definition of viscous damping and viscous damping coefficient especially in Civil Engineering.?
== Answer }
What is geometric damping?
Geometric damping is also called radiation damping. It is defined as energy radiation into a surrounding medium. Damping is defined as energy dissipation property of structures and materials that are put through time-variable loading.
Does the spectrum of light from a star have no gaps?
No, a spectrum of light with no gaps can not be achieved.
What is damping level?
In the damping level the level view and vertical spindle are crossed together...
How does surface area affect damping of an oscillation?
The larger the surface area, the larger the damping of an oscillation
Why is sharpness of resonance inversely proportional to the damping force?
the further the frequency from the resonant one, greater would be the damping effect, hence greater the sharpness the lowre is the damping effect
Damping coefficient for viscous fluids?
The damping coefficient ς is a parameter which determines the behavior of the damped system
What are the ratings and certificates for Damping malam - 2010?
Damping malam - 2010 is rated/received certificates of: Singapore:PG
What is 32A25G dampening material?
We know only damping material. Acoustic quieting is the process of making machinery quieter by damping vibrations to prevent them from reaching the observer. Machinery vibrates, causing sound waves in air, hydroacoustic waves in water, and mechanical stresses in solid matter. Quieting is achieved by absorbing the vibrational energy or minimizing the source of the vibration. It may also be redirected away from the observer. Scroll down to related links and look at "US Patent 6265475 - High damping material composition".
