A measure of the mechanical damping. The logarithmic decrement is measured dynamically using a torsion pendulum, vibrating reed, or some other free vibration instrument, and is calculated from the natural logarithm of the ratio of the amplitudes of any two oscillations. Its formulation is: where
Ai = amplitude of the ith oscillation
A(i+n) = amplitude of the oscillation n vibrations after the ith oscillation.
