Could you please confirm the zeta. Is this zeta is a damping factor or damping coefficient, or both are same?

Mohan said:   9 years ago
Good explanation. Thank you all.

Perfect answer @Jithin.

@Vicky.

Just find logarithmic decrement using following equation.

Logarithmic Decrement = 2 * (Pi) * Zeta/sqrt(1-zeta^2).

Where zeta is ratio of Actual damping coefficient/Critical damping coefficient.

Can anyone please explain in a simple way?

Ramu said:   9 years ago
Zeta is damping factor or damping ratio.

Rohit said:   9 years ago
May be Zeta is the damping coefficient.
