Critical Damping Coefficient in Mechanical Vibrations Formulas

Critical Damping Coefficient is the minimum amount of damping required to prevent oscillations in a mechanical system, resulting in a critically damped response. And is denoted by c_c. Critical Damping Coefficient is usually measured using the Newton Second per Meter for Damping Coefficient. Note that the value of Critical Damping Coefficient is always positive. Typically, the value of Critical Damping Coefficient is greater than 0.
