Hydraulic damping ratio

Since the Bulk Modulus of hydraulic oil is in the order of 1.4 GPa, if m and F[ are small, a large hydraulic natural frequency is possible, resulting in a rapid response. Note that the hydraulic damping ratio is governed by Cp and A c. To control the level of damping, it is sometimes necessary to drill small holes through the piston. 

On the other hand, the damping ratio increases with an increasing Froude number, confirming that hydraulic jumps with larger values of Froude number are more efficient in energy dissipation. However, the spectral intensity of the excitation does not show an obvious trend with the Froude number. According to Streeter and Wylie [256], the fractional head losses of...

Silicone Fluids. Silicone fluids are used in a wide variety of applications, including damping fluids, dielectric fluids, polishes, cosmetic and personal care additives, textile finishes, hydraulic fluids, paint additives, and heat-transfer oils. Polydimethylsiloxane oils are manufactured by the equilibrium polymerization of cyclic or linear dimethylsilicone precursors. Trifunctional organosilane end groups, typically trimethylsilyl (M), are used, and the ratio of end group to chain units (D), ie, M/D, controls the ultimate average molecular weight and viscosity (112). Low viscosity fluids,...
