Damping

What do we mean by damping?

The gradual reduction of excessive oscillation, vibration, or signal intensity, and therefore of instability in a mechanical or electrical device, by a substance or some aspect of the device. noun

In bleaching, a process by which a certain amount of moisture is added to a fabric after starching, to prepare it for finishing. noun

The process or method of retarding or stopping the action of a vibrating or oscillating body, as a magnetic needle. See damp, v. t., 7. noun

The stopping of the tendency to surge or hunt, in synchronous machines, as alternating-current generators or synchronous motors or converters, by means of closed low-resistance copper turns inserted in the pole-faces of the magnetic field. See amortisseur. noun

Premature decay in plants, especially young seedlings, attributed to excessive moisture. See damp, 6. noun

Present participle of damp. verb

The reduction in the magnitude of oscillations by the dissipation of energy noun
