Abstract :
When the mathematical solution of a problem is so difficult as to be impracticable it sometimes is possible to obtain the desired answer from the behavior of an analogous electric circuit. This article presents an analog of ``coulomb friction,´´ and demonstrates the application of this analog to the previously unsolved problem of the torsional-vibration damper.
