CF-5200 Frequently Asked Questions
Question number FAQ-0600
What does a damping factor of -5% mean in the half-width method?
The relationship between the logarithmic decay rate δ and the damping factor ζ is
δ＝2πζ
δ represents the ratio of adjacent peaks of a damped sine wave.
If ζ is large, the damping becomes larger.
