Effective Viscous Damping Enables Morphological Computation in Legged Locomotion [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 Muscle models and animal observations suggest that physical damping is beneficial for stabilization. Still, only a few implementations of physical damping exist in compliant robotic legged locomotion.

Critical response of elastic-plastic SDOF systems with nonlinear viscous damping under simulated earthquake ground motions [PDF]
Heliyon, 2019 Multi impulse with constant time interval is used as a representative of a long-duration earthquake ground motion. An analytical expression is derived for the elastic-plastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) model with nonlinear viscous ...

Investigating viscous damping using a webcam [PDF]
American Journal of Physics, 2010 We describe an experiment involving a mass oscillating in a viscous fluid. The mechanical oscillator is tracked using a simple webcam, and an image processing algorithm records the position of the geometrical center as a function of time. Interesting information can be extracted from the displacement-time graphs, in particular, for the underdamped case.

VD-PQ; A Velocity-Dependent Viscous Damping Model for Wave-Structure Interaction Analysis
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 For the analysis and design of coastal and offshore structures, viscous loads represent one of the most influential parameters that dominate their response. Very commonly, the potential flow theory is used for identifying the excitation wave loads, while

Monitoring of Liquid Viscosity for Viscous Dampers through a Wireless Impedance Measurement System
Applied Sciences, 2021 Viscous dampers are a type of seismic damping equipment widely used in high-rise buildings and bridges. However, the viscosity of the damping fluid inside the viscous damper will change over time during its use, which significantly reduces the seismic ...

Viscous Damping of Vibrations in Microtubules [PDF]
Journal of Biological Physics, 2000 Pokorný et al. have recently suggested that metabolic processes drivemicrotubules in a cell to vibrate at Megahertz frequencies, but the theorydoes not explicitly consider dissipative effects which will tend to damp outthe vibrations. To examine the effects of viscous damping on the structure,we determine viscous forces and rate of energy loss in a ...
