Damping Ratio,
The value of
discriminator c2-4km
changes for every
system
It is more convenient
to define a non-
dimensional quantity
which is related to
actual damping and is
normalized by value
of critical damping
Underdamped Motion
Using Eulers

Overdamped Motion
The discriminant of equation is positive, resulting in a pair of distinct real roots
Critically-damped Motion
The discriminant is zero, resulting in
equal, repeated roots
Critically damped systems represent the systems with the smallest value of
damping rate that yields non-oscillatory motion
