So we get the power balance
that is fluctuating for harmonic motion but with a net power flow.
For harmonic motion the power introduced into the system by a force Fx(t)=Fxejωt that generates the velocity response vx(t)=vxejωt is
The first term in the bracket is constant, the second oscillating with twice the excitation frequency. The first part is called active power and the second part the reactive. All introduced energy in one half cycle comes back in the next half cycle. The time average over one period leaves only the active part
The velocity can be expressed by the impedance V=Z/F or vice versa, so we get
The power considerations further clarify the naming conventions for the real and imaginary parts of the impedance. With Equation (1.40) the power introduced into the system equals Π=12|vx|2cv. Thus, the active power is controlled by the real part or resistance whereas the reactive part is determined by the imaginary component called reactance. The energy is dissipated in the resistive damping process, but power delivered to the reactive part goes into the kinetic and potential energy of mass and spring.
1.2.4 Damping
In many practical applications ζ is small and the amplitude can be estimated by linear expansion from (1.34)
with the corresponding phase angle
The amplitude- and phase resonances are assumed to be equal for systems with small damping. The magnification is thus 1/2ζ, and it is called the quality factor:

This factor is a measure for the sharpness of the resonance peak or the quality of the resonator. In response diagrams when the shape of the amplitude over frequency is measured the half power bandwidth is used. This is the distance of the points where the amplitude is 1/2 of the peak value u^r. Solving Equation (1.31) for u^r/u^0=1/2 the frequencies of half power can be found:
and therefore
Obviously the decay time is also related to damping. If Equation (1.22) is considered we get
We have presented several expressions that describe damping. Nevertheless, even more quantities for damping are used depending on the engineering discipline and will be shown in Section 1.2.5. Section 1.2.5.1 aims at sorting all those expressions and their relationships among each other.
1.2.5 Damping in Real Systems
Viscous damping is rare in real systems, it only exists if the surface that is connected to liquids moves so slow that no turbulent motion appears. Observation of experiments with damping normally doesn’t show damping that increases
