Why damping happens during vibration?

The mechanical system vibrates at one or more of its natural frequencies and damps down to motionlessness. Damped vibration happens when the energy of a vibrating system is gradually dissipated by friction and other resistances, the vibrations are said to be damped.

How to Calculate Damping Factor?

Damping Factor calculator uses Damping Ratio = Damping Coefficient/Critical Damping Coefficient to calculate the Damping Ratio, Damping Factor formula is defined as a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the decay rate of oscillations in a damped vibrating system, providing a measure of the amount of damping present in the system, which is critical in understanding and predicting the behavior of vibrating systems in various fields such as mechanical engineering and physics. Damping Ratio is denoted by ζ symbol.
