= Equivalent dumping coefficient
{wiki=Equivalent_dumping_coefficient}
The equivalent dumping coefficient is a concept often used in the study of dynamic systems, particularly in fields like mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and control theory. It is a measure of how a system dissipates energy over time, particularly in oscillatory systems such as damped harmonic oscillators. In the context of structural and mechanical systems, the damping coefficient is a parameter that quantifies the amount of damping present in the system. It influences how quickly a system returns to equilibrium after being disturbed.
