How do you calculate the damping ratio of a mechanical system?
Damping ratio is a measure of how quickly a mechanical system returns to its equilibrium position after being disturbed. It is related to the amount of energy dissipated by the system due to friction, air resistance, or other damping forces. A high damping ratio means the system is over-damped and takes a long time to settle, while a low damping ratio means the system is under-damped and oscillates around the equilibrium point. A critical damping ratio of one means the system is critically damped and returns to the equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshooting.
