damping

Oscillation ringdown (damping) should mostly be a function of matrix material energy dissipation, since the carbon fiber has very low damping.

Successfully designing for earthquakes does not necessarily mean active damping.

In short, the damping mechanism in markets is that anyone who believes the price is wrong can come in, buy/sell/short and push markets back to the right place.

Likewise, heavier bow, more hairs, and make sure the shoulder rest is not damping the back plate at all.

You need a damping factor that prevents any single individual or corporation from amassing too much power.

The TPP aims to reduce some of China’s geopolitical resurgence by damping down the extent of China’s regional trade dominance.

There's a really fascinating and relevant 99% Invisible [1] on a building with insufficient sway damping leading to potential for collapse.

Isn't the SEC in charge of adding such damping to our financial trading systems?

The camera path is a cheap hack, extracted from certain track faces and has a lot of damping to smoothen things out.

But you are right that regulators (not sure if breaking trades is an exchange or SEC thing?) do reduce this natural damping factor.

He is arguing, probably correctly, that the damping caused by energy extraction will cancel out the natural resonance and therefore not be repeatable.

Some reflection of the sound you do want to amplify, along with damping that you don't, and accounting for different reflections, comes into play.

> Sound dampening O-rings Copy editors: you mean "Sound damping".

Particularly in making the player believe -- most sampled synths have an "uncanny valley" due to the absence of subtle cues like spatial effects, velocity detuning, and hammer damping.

Low key-travel to actuation is fine (and actually makes for faster typing), but there needs to be a soft "damping" stop past that to cushion and rebound the fingers, otherwise it feels excessively rough and abrupt to type on.

The most insidious spec violations are "manufactured too well" if for example you rely on frictional damping to eliminate oscillations, then making and shipping better ball bearings than you'd ever shipped before, could ruin an overall system because one component is too good.
