Foeppl 1923)] the ability of a metal or other solid to absorb vibrational energy and dissipate it as heat. ΚΠ 1931 Proc. Amer. Soc. Testing Materials 31 ii. 157 Engineering materials..are able to dissipate energy without failure when subjected to cyclic stresses below the fatigue limit... This property is known as ‘mechanical hysteresis effect’, ‘internal friction’ (of solids), or ‘damping capacity’. The latter nomenclature was proposed by O. Foeppl in 1923, who offered the following definition: ‘Damping Capacity’ is the amount of work dissipated into heat by a unit volume of the material during a completely reversed cycle of unit stress. This damping capacity is measured in inch-pounds per cubic inch per cycle. 1953 S. P. Timoshenko Hist.

E. Dalby Balancing of Engines (ed. 4) viii. 259 The damping coefficients derived from the dynamic magnifier are more likely to approximate to the damping of the loaded bridge than damping coefficients determined from the residual oscillations. damping-coil n. in a galvanometer or dynamometer, a coil used to check vibrations of the needle, etc. ΚΠ 1906 A. Russell Alternating Currents II. 192 The ordinary field magnet coils must act to a certain extent like damping coils. damping constant n. = damping factor n. ΚΠ 1922 F. F. Fowle Stand. Handbk. Electr. Engineers (ed. 5) xxiv. 1963 The damping constant of a circuit is a measure of the ratio of the dissipative to the reactive component of its admittance or impedance. damping factor n. any number representing the degree to which an oscillation is damped, usually defined as the reciprocal of the time in which the amplitude decreases by a factor e.

Fleming Princ. Electr.
