where ''x''(''t'') is the overshoot (amplitude - final value) at time ''t'' and {{nowrap|''x''(''t'' + ''nT'')}} is the amplitudeovershoot of the peak ''n'' periods away, where ''n'' is any integer number of successive, positive peaks.
 
The damping ratio is then found from the logarithmic decrement by:
