If the discriminant of this phenomenon's auxiliary equation is positive, this effect is said to be over-present, while a zero discriminant gives the critical type.
If the discriminant of this phenomenon's auxiliary equation is positive, this effect is said to be over-present, while a zero discriminant gives the critical type. Applied to an oscillator, this phenomenon is equivalent to one present in RLC circuits, and exponentially decaying oscillations are present when the namesake coefficient of this phenomenon is less than the product of the maximum amplitude and the spring constant. This phenomenon can be modeled by the equation m s-double prime equals negative b s-prime minus k s, where b is the namesake coefficient. Name this phenomenon characterizing motion that eventually trails off, such as that contrasted with simple harmonic motion.
