What is the difference between damping factor and damping ratio? I have been taught that ratio of actual damping coefficient to critical damping coefficient is called as damping ratio. Is it correct?

The gradual reduction of excessive oscillation or vibration and therefore of instability in a mechanical or electrical device, by a substance (eg. Any viscous fluid) is called damping.

Critical damping co-efficient is the 2times d square root of s*m where s is the stiffens of spring and m is mass.

Damping factor is equal to ratio of actual damping coefficient to critical damping coefficient.

What is mean by damping coefficient and critical damping coefficient ? Anybody knows.

Ravi said:   1 decade ago
Ratio of dumping factor and co efficient of dumping factor both are co relation.

Damping ratio (z) = C/Co; where C = actual damping.

Co = Critical damping.

Damping factor and damping ratio both are one and the same.
