    Damping and friction in syringe equation of motion

    For simplification you can consider it water for the time being. For comment (1), I agree, and I think all are constants, while only flow rate increase affects reynolds number, and hence affects the viscous damping coefficient. This is also an interesting point that I missed. so when weh...

    Damping and friction in syringe equation of motion

    Hello Everyone I want to model forces affecting on syringe plunger , but I do not know how to calculate terms like friction and damping coefficient. What I imagine is that : F_driving = ma + cv + f ----------------(1) where: f: friction c: coefficient of viscous damping m: mass of plunger (is...

    Understanding the physical meaning of phase shift in underdamped systems

    Hello all I know that the step response of a second order underdamped system is : y(t) = 1 – (e^(-ζωn*t) / sin(θ))*sin(ωd*t + θ) Where sin(θ)= sqrt(1-ζ^2) , ωd = sqrt(ωn^2 – ωn^2 * ζ^2 ) my question is: I can see on the simulation ωd and I can calculate it , but I want also to see the...
