loss of 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… …
2Magnetic 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 …
3Loudspeaker enclosure — A loudspeaker enclosure is a cabinet designed to transmit sound to the listener via mounted loudspeaker drive units. The major role of the enclosure is to prevent the out of phase sound waves from the rear of the speaker from combining with the… …
4Speed of gravity — In the context of classical theories of gravitation, the speed of gravity refers to the speed at which a gravitational field propagates. This is the speed at which changes in the distribution of energy and momentum result in noticeable changes in …

6plant disease — ▪ plant pathology Introduction an impairment of the normal state of a plant that interrupts or modifies its vital functions. All species of plants, wild and cultivated alike, are subject to disease. Although each species is… …
7Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory — The Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory is an interpretation of electrodynamics that starts from the idea that a solution to the electromagnetic field equations has to be symmetric with respect to time inversion, as are the field equations themselves …
8PageRank — is a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of measuring its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to… …
9Sound transmission class — (or STC) is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound. In the USA, it is widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings/floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations (see ASTM International… …
10Earthquake engineering — is the study of the behavior of buildings and structures subject to seismic loading. It is a subset of both structural and civil engineering.The main objectives of earthquake engineering are: * Understand the interaction between buildings or… …
