damping property

double damping
final

The damping coefficient (c).

It is a pure number without physical meaning and describes the oscillation and decay of a system after being disturbed. The larger the damping, the fewer oscillations and smaller the amplitude of the elastic motion.

Do not confuse the damping coefficient (c) with the damping ratio (ΞΆ). To create a SpringDescription with a damping ratio, use the SpringDescription.withDampingRatio constructor.

The units of the damping coefficient are M/T, where M is the mass unit used for the value of the mass property, and T is the time unit used for driving the SpringSimulation.
