Primes¶
- Damping
- Calling all amplitude-reducing interventions "damping" obscures the mechanism. Not friction only. Friction is one damping mechanism; others include viscous drag
This sourceEstablishes the law of viscous (velocity-proportional) damping — Stokes drag, F = 6πηrv for a sphere — via an exact solution for unsteady viscous flow about an oscillating body.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Stokes derives fluid resistance on a sphere depending on the first power of velocity, supporting viscous drag as a velocity-proportional resistance; it does not discuss damping taxonomy.
“The formula (126) determines, in the particular case of a sphere, that part of the whole resistance which depends on the first power of the velocity”

Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
The 1851 paper obtains a sphere's steady-motion resistance from the oscillating-sphere solution, scaling with radius not area; equation (126) is missing from the extracted text.
“The resistance thus determined proves to be proportional, for a given fluid and a given velocity, not to the surface, but to the radius of the sphere”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
