Damping Ratio, Damping Ratio
That is, the attenuation parameter \alpha represents the rate of exponential decay of the oscillations (e.g., after an impulse) of the system. A lower damping ratio implies a lower attenuation, and so very underdamped systems oscillate for long times. For example, high quality bells have an approximately pure sinusoidal tone for a long time after being struck by a hammer.
