Resumen de A simple method to estimate Q for a damped oscillation
The coefficient of restitution is used to characterize the energy loss of a bouncing ball.1 When discussing damped oscillatory motion, the quality factor, Q, plays an analogous role. The quality factor, Q, of a damped oscillation is a measure of the energy loss per cycle, and can be calculated by plotting oscillator amplitude vs. time. An even simpler method is to count the number of observed cycles.
