There are four main types of damping: viscous, Coulomb, material, and magnetic. Viscous damping dissipates energy through movement in a fluid medium. Coulomb damping provides a constant damping force opposite to motion caused by dry or insufficiently lubricated friction surfaces. Material or hysteresis damping results from internal friction as a material deforms. Magnetic damping converts kinetic energy to heat through eddy currents induced in a coil or plate near a magnet during oscillation.
