Dampening of oscillatory motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on establishing a quantitative relationship between the damping of a mass on a spring and time. Participants suggest exploring mathematical models related to single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems to understand this relationship better. A reference paper is provided for further reading on the subject. Additionally, searching for resources on free vibration of SDOF systems is recommended for deeper insights. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing oscillatory motion in mechanical systems.

Is there a quantitative relationship between dampening of a mass on a spring and time. I need some help on how to go about finding a mathematical relationship of dampening of a mass on a spring.

thank you

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
