Talk:Damped sine wave

Damped cosine mistake
The equation and illustration show a damped cosine wave. A true damped sine wave starts at 0 V. Can these be corrected? &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:08, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

The equation shown is missing the "damping factor"... e^tλ * COS — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.19.66 (talk) 14:17, 23 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The illustration is special-cased for cosine phase, A = 1, $$\lambda = 1$$, and $$\omega = 2\pi$$. There might be a better way to make that clear. Dicklyon (talk) 19:42, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Merge from Damped wave
there's significant overlap between the two concepts. fgnievinski (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, a lot of overlap. Just be careful not to make this sad little article even worse by importing junk.  Currently, the one cited reference doesn't even include the term damped sine wave in it, as far as I can tell.  It talks about damped system, as that's where damping usually comes up.  See if you can make something good of it. Dicklyon (talk) 06:53, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge, but wouldn't it make more sense the other way around (merging damped sine wave into damped wave), as a damped sine wave is a specific form of a damped wave? Lennart97 (talk) 11:55, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Other way per Lennart97. The damped sine wave is one little part of the topic of damping. Dicklyon (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

I went ahead and merged to Damping. Dicklyon (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
