What is undamped free vibration?
The simplest vibrations to analyze are undamped, free, one degree of freedom vibrations. "Undamped" means that there are no energy losses with movement (whether intentional, by adding dampers, or unintentional, through drag or friction). An undamped system will vibrate forever without any additional applied forces.
How to Calculate Damping Coefficient?
Damping Coefficient calculator uses Damping Coefficient = (tan(Phase Constant)*(Stiffness of Spring-Mass suspended from Spring*Angular Velocity^2))/Angular Velocity to calculate the Damping Coefficient, The Damping coefficient formula is defined as a material property that indicates whether a material will bounce back or return energy to a system. Damping Coefficient is denoted by c symbol.
How to calculate Damping Coefficient using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Damping Coefficient, enter Phase Constant (ϕ), Stiffness of Spring (k), Mass suspended from Spring (m) & Angular Velocity (ω) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Damping Coefficient calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.557143 = (tan(0.785398163397301)*(60-0.25*10^2))/10.
