How to Calculate and Solve for Dumping Ratio | Step and Frequency Response | Dynamic Characteristics of Instruments

The image above represents the dumping ratio | step and frequency response. To calculate the dumping ratio | step and frequency response, three essential parameters are needed: Co-efficient (ao), Co-efficient (a1), and Co-efficient (a2).

The formula for calculating dumping ratio | step and frequency response:

ε = ^a₁ / _2√(ao a2)

Where:

ε = Dumping Ratio
a_o = Co-efficient
Also, a₁ = Co-efficient
a₂ = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the dumping ratio when the co-efficient is 14, the co-efficient is 7 and the co-efficient is 10.

This implies that;

a_o = Co-efficient = 14
a₁ = Co-efficient = 7
And then, a₂ = Co-efficient = 10

ε = ^a₁ / _2√(ao a2)
ε = ⁷ / _{2 x √(14 x 10)}
That is, ε = ⁷ / _{2 x √(140)}
ε = ⁷ / _{2 x 11.83}
So, ε = ⁷ / _23.66
ε = 0.295

Therefore, the dumping ratio | step frequency response is 0.295.

Calculating for the Co-efficient when the Dumping Ratio, the Co-efficient and the Co-efficient are Given

a₁ = ε x 2√(a_o . a₂)

Where;

a₁ = Co-efficient
ε = Dumping Ratio
a_o = Co-efficient
a₂ = Co-efficient

Let’s solve an example;
Find the co-efficient when the dumping ratio is 10, the co-efficient is 4 and the co-efficient is 6.

This implies that;

ε = Dumping Ratio = 10
a_o = Co-efficient = 4
a₂ = Co-efficient = 6

a₁ = ε x 2√(a_o . a₂)
a₁ = 10 x 2√(4 . 6)
So, a₁ = 10 x 2√(24)
a₁ = 10 x 2(4.89)
a₁ = 97.8

Therefore, the dumping ratio | step frequency response is 97.8
