AI Thread Summary
Finding a damper with a specific coefficient (c) that fits a given vibration equation can be challenging, as most specifications do not directly list this parameter. Users often encounter a variety of other parameters instead of the desired coefficient. To resolve this issue, it is important to understand how to interpret damper specifications and relate them to the equation's requirements. Additionally, calculating the damper force (F) from available specifications can also be problematic. Clearer guidelines or examples of how to identify the correct damper specifications would be beneficial.

Lets assume a simple situation where there is a spring and a damper connected in parallel.
We place some weight above them and begin the vibrations.
The equation will then be:

Mx'' = -kx -cx' -Mg
So, I want to find a damper with a certain coeffitient c.
I mean, that I want to find a real damper, that will fit that equation with the c parameter.
I just fix a value of c = const, which satisfies me, and the I want to test my system with a real damper. The problem is that I can't find the needed specification in all specifications of dampers I've looked at, I want to see something like this:
The linear damper has the parameter c = some constant. Or something like that.
Instead of it I see many other parameter. Can anybody help me to find out how to resolve my problem? Or I also would like, if possible to get the damper force F from that specifications, but I can;t see it also. In the equation the damper force will be F = -cx'

Sorry, you have to be more specific.

All of the above are too vague for us to understand what your problem is and how we can help you with it.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
Hello! I am generating electrons from a 3D gaussian source. The electrons all have the same energy, but the direction is isotropic. The electron source is in between 2 plates that act as a capacitor, and one of them acts as a time of flight (tof) detector. I know the voltage on the plates very well, and I want to extract the center of the gaussian distribution (in one direction only), by measuring the tof of many electrons. So the uncertainty on the position is given by the tof uncertainty...
