energy dissipation in mechanical systems
The concept of energy dissipation in mechanical systems refers to the process by which mechanical energy is converted into other forms (such as heat or sound) and lost from the system. This occurs due to various factors such as friction, vibration, and deformation in the system. Energy dissipation affects the overall efficiency and performance of mechanical systems by reducing the amount of useful energy available for doing work.
