What is damping?2016-10-15
In mechanical physics, the reduction of the energy of the system - not all damping vibration is caused by "resistance"
In terms of one is due to friction resistance heat, the system reduces the mechanical energy, into internal energy, this damping is called friction damping; the other is the system caused by the surrounding particle vibration, the system's energy gradually to the surrounding radiation Out, into a wave of energy, this damping is called radiation damping.
