q_factor Function

public pure elemental function q_factor(zeta) result(rst)

Estimates the Q-factor for a vibratory system. The Q-factor is computed $Q = \frac{1}{2 \zeta}$. For a lightly damped mode, $Q$ is also approximately the ratio of the resonant frequency to its half-power bandwidth.

Arguments

Type	Intent	Optional	Attributes		Name
real(kind=real64),	intent(in)			::	zeta	The damping ratio.

Return Value real(kind=real64)

The Q-factor.
