It is more convenient
to define a non-
dimensional quantity
which is related to
actual damping and is
normalized by value
of critical damping

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

Critical damping can also be thought of as Ccr value of damping that


the case that separates non-oscillation from provides the fastest return to
oscillation zero without oscillation.
