Can damping ratio calculation be done in DDP? how

Can damping ratio calculation be done in DDP? how

Postby Josephus » Thu Nov 15, 2018 3:19 pm

Using DDP functions I would like to know if it is possible to have a set of derived data point to determine the damping ratio of a tap test on tone wood that has a fast decay and/or the logarithmic decrements of the diminishing amplitude of the pulse. The Y unit should be in audio dB. Usually the frequency is pretty low from 50 Hz to 500 Hz.

Another derived function I would be interested would be the Q factor defined as = centre frequency divided by the (frequency after minus frequency before) when the amplitude is 3 dB below the centre frequency in the spectrum analyzer.

I just got the full package software and there is a lot to learn to navigate all that can be done.

Any assistance will be welcome. Thank you
