Damping Ratio in Torsion Rock Test Equipment

The damping ratio is a measure of describing how oscillations in a system die down after a disturbance i.e. how the shear waves generated in the sample die down after a test is complete. This test can be carried out in torsion or flexure through the resonant column.

The following rock test equipment can perform the Damping Ratio in Torsion rock test:-
