About: Viscous damping

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In continuum mechanics, viscous damping is a formulation of the damping phenomena, in which the source of damping force is modeled as a function of the volume, shape, and velocity of an object traversing through a real fluid with viscosity. Typical examples of viscous damping in mechanical systems include: * Fluid films between surfaces * Fluid flow around a piston in a cylinder * Fluid flow through an orifice * Fluid flow within a journal bearing

dbo:abstract
  • In continuum mechanics, viscous damping is a formulation of the damping phenomena, in which the source of damping force is modeled as a function of the volume, shape, and velocity of an object traversing through a real fluid with viscosity. Typical examples of viscous damping in mechanical systems include: * Fluid films between surfaces * Fluid flow around a piston in a cylinder * Fluid flow through an orifice * Fluid flow within a journal bearing Viscous damping also refers to damping devices. Most often they damp motion by providing a force or torque opposing motion proportional to the velocity. This may be affected by fluid flow or motion of magnetic structures. The intended effect is to improve the damping ratio. * Shock absorbers in cars * Seismic retrofitting with viscous dampers * Tuned mass dampers in tall buildings * Deployment actuators in spacecraft (en)
