A new testing technique is described which can be applied in determining the damping coefficient of the critical vibration modes of an airplane in flight. The damping coefficient can be determined in several different ways from the same data using different features of a modified response curve which implies the possibility of checking one value against the other. The method introduces the effect of sweep rate in the driving system. This effect on the frequency response curve of the critical vibration mode and its various characteristics are used in the determination of damping coefficient. A theoretical examination is made of these characteristics for single degree of freedom systems.
