Theory of Machine
In a vibrating system, if the actual damping coefficient is 40 N/m/s and critical damping coefficient is 420 N/m/s, then logarithmic decrement is equal to
A rigid link rotates instantaneously relative to another link at the instantaneous centre for the configuration of the mechanism considered.
The velocity of the instantaneous centre relative to any third rigid link is same whether the instantaneous centre is regarded as a point on the first rigid link or on the second rigid link.
The two rigid links have no linear velocity relative to each other at the instantaneous centre.
