3) Critically damped: [math]x(t) = (A + Bt)e^{- \gamma t}[/math] This is the optimally damped case, where the damping coefficient is just large enough to completely quell the oscillations, so the oscillator returns to zero in the least amount of time possible. 4) Overdamped: [math]x(t) = Ae^{- \gamma_{1}t} + Be^{- \gamma_{2}t}[/math]
A damper is a device that deadens, restrains, or depresses. Damper may refer to: 1  Dashpot, a type of hydraulic or mechanical damper, 2  Shock absorber (British or technical use: damper), a mechanical device designed to dissipate kinetic energy. 3  In electronics, a kind of diode, intended to absorb energy peaks, normally generated by inductive circuitry.
