mechanical damping
Mechanical damping is the process of dissipating energy in a vibrating system, reducing the amplitude of oscillations over time. It is achieved by converting mechanical energy into heat or another form of energy through friction or other resistance mechanisms. This helps to minimize vibrations and prevent damage to the system.
