damped oscillatory motion
1Torsion spring — A mousetrap powered by a helical torsion spring A torsion spring is a spring that works by torsion or twisting; that is, a flexible elastic object that stores mechanical energy when it is twisted. The amount of force (actually torque) it exerts… …
2wave — waveless, adj. wavelessly, adv. wavingly, adv. wavelike, adj. /wayv/, n., v., waved, waving. n. 1. a disturbance on the surface of a liquid body, as the sea or a lake, in the form of a moving ridge or swell. 2. any surging or progressing movement …
3Wave — /wayv/, n. a member of the Waves. Also, WAVE. [1942; see WAVES] * * * I In oceanography, a ridge or swell on the surface of a body of water, normally having a forward motion distinct from the motions of the particles that compose it. Ocean waves… …
4Damping factor — The term damping factor can also refer to the damping ratio in any damped oscillatory system or in numerical algorithms. In audio system terminology, the damping factor gives the ratio of the rated impedance of the loudspeaker to the source… …
