Example Problems
- After watching the Pre-lecture videos on damping, I still was a bit confused about what damping even was. I found this video really helpful in explaining in depth and in much simpler terms what it was and how to calculate it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O6ZV2xgqhM
- This is a well explained, relatively straight forward damping problem. It helped me further understand the topic in order to move on to more complicated problems. The speaker thoroughly explains the problem as well as the overall equation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Oe5CcxF85I
- Here is a powerpoint explaining dampening, and this is video that goes over a number of dampeing practive problems.
