eddy damping
1damping — damp·ing (dămʹpĭng) n. The capacity built into a mechanical or electrical device to prevent excessive correction and the resulting instability or oscillatory conditions. * * * In physics, the restraint of vibratory motion, such as mechanical… …
2eddy-current brake — noun : a speed control dynamometer in which the resistance to rotation is produced by eddy currents generated by the relative rotation of copper disks and magnets : an electromagnetic brake compare magnetic damping …
3eddy current — noun An induced electric current formed within the body of a conductor when it is exposed to a time varying magnetic field; utilized in induction heating and in some braking and damping systems. Syn: Foucault current …
4Magnetic damping — is a form of damping that occurs when a magnetic field moves through a conductor (or vice versa). Contents 1 Definition 2 Equation 3 Uses 4 Simple Experiment …
5magnetic damping — noun : mechanical damping produced by the reaction of a magnetic field with eddy currents due to relative motion of conductor and field …
6Dashpot — A dashpot is a mechanical device, a damper which resists motion via viscous friction. The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in… …
7Magnetic levitation — This article is about magnetic levitation. For trains based on this effect, see Maglev. For the Ruby interpreter, see MagLev (Ruby interpreter). Levitating pyrolytic carbon Magnetic levitation, maglev, or magnetic suspension is a method by which… …
8Magnonics — is an emerging field of modern magnetism, which can be considered a sub field of modern solid state physics.[1] Magnonics combines waves and magnetism, its main aim is to investigate the behaviour of spin waves in nano structure elements. In… …
9Shock absorber — Gas damper A shock absorber is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and dissipate kinetic energy. It is a type of dashpot. Contents …
10Thiele/Small — commonly refers to a set of electromechanical parameters that define the specified low frequency performance of a loudspeaker driver. These parameters are published in specification sheets by driver manufacturers so that designers have a guide in …
