opposes changes in it, in direct proportion to the instantaneous rate of change, velocity or time derivative, of the
variable itself. In engineering applications it is often desirable to linearize non-linear drag forces. This may be
done by nding an equivalent work coecient in the case
of harmonic forcing. In non-harmonic cases, restrictions
on the speed may lead to accurate linearization.
In physics and engineering, damping may be
mathematically modeled as a force synchronous
with the velocity of the object but opposite in direction
to it. If such force is also proportional to the velocity, as
for a simple mechanical viscous damper (dashpot), the
force F may be related to the velocity v by

The rst parameter, 0 , is called the (undamped) natural
frequency of the system. The second parameter, , is
called the damping ratio. The natural frequency represents an angular frequency, expressed in radians per second. The damping ratio is a dimensionless quantity.

This is the frequency at which a moderately underdamped

maximum gain (or peak transmissibility) when driven by
a sinusoidal input. The frequency at which this peak ocA = x(0)
