Logarithmic Decrement (cont’d.)
Ratio for two successive decrements can now be written as:
x1 e n t1
n ( t1 d ) e n d
x2 e
Logarithmic decrement δ, now is given by:

The negative sign denotes that energy dissipate with time. Assuming a simple
harmonic motion

Energy Dissipated in Viscous Damping (cont’d.)
The fraction of the total energy of the vibrating system that is dissipated in each cycle
of motion is called the specific damping capacity
