For resonance to occur you need a
capacitor/inductor, or mass/spring. All components of either mechanical or electrical circuits require the solution of the same simple differential equation, such as i = C*dv/dt etc. No-one was arguing that that was not the case. A spring might have the mechanical equivalent of reactance, but a damper will most certainly not - hence the rubbish posted by the OP, where he believes that dampers store energy. They do not, and therefore cannot have the mechanical equivalence of a reactance. Therefore, resonance is not possible with such a system. In the extreme, the OP was reduced to likening dampers to bicycle pumps, a sure sign of a failure to grasp a fundamental point (and hence the error of his assertion). from Aero Spike I am not aware of a damper ever being considered a storage device. Capacitance is equivalent to mass, Inductance is equivalent to a spring, and resistance equivalent to a damper. Am I missing something? Anyway will read later posts and see what I can get out of it.
