WHAT DOES DAMPING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Damping

Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing, restricting or preventing its oscillations. In physical systems, damping is produced by processes that dissipate the energy stored in the oscillation. Examples include Viscous drag in mechanical systems, resistance in electronic oscillators, and absorption and scattering of light in optical oscillators. Damping not based on energy loss can be important in other oscillating systems such as those that occur in biological systems. The damping of a system can be described as being one of the following: ▪ Overdamped: The system returns to equilibrium without oscillating. ▪ Critically damped: The system returns to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating. ▪ Underdamped: The system oscillates with the amplitude gradually decreasing to zero. ▪ Undamped: The system oscillates at its natural resonant frequency. For example, consider a door that uses a spring to close the door once open. This can lead to any of the above types of damping depending on the strength of the damping.

Definition of damping in the English dictionary

The first definition of damping in the dictionary is moistening or wetting. Other definition of damping is stifling, as of spirits. Damping is also the introduction of resistance into a resonant circuit with the result that the sharpness of response at the peak of a frequency is reduced.
