Damping

Japanese: 制動 - せいどう(英語表記)damping
Damping
The act of damping by applying a resisting force against motion or vibration. Elements used for braking include automobile and bicycle brakes that use friction, dashpots that use the viscous force of a fluid passing through a narrow gap, air brakes that allow air to flow in and out, and electromagnetic brakes that use eddy currents. The damping of vibrations is sometimes called vibration damping in particular.
