damping: Definition and Much More from Answers.com (1218 words)
Viscous damping is caused by such energy losses as occur in liquid lubrication between moving parts or in a liquid forced through a small opening by a piston, as in automobile shock absorbers.
In physics and engineering, damping is mathematically modelled as a force with magnitude proportional to that of the velocity of the object but opposite in direction to it.
In playing stringed instruments such as guitar or violin, damping is the quieting or abrupt silencing of the strings after they have been sounded, by pressing with the edge of the palm, or other parts of the hand such as the fingers on one or more strings near the bridge of the instrument.

The main effect of damping in a loudspeaker is to reduce the SPL produced by the loudspeaker's diaphragm moving because of its own inertia after the signal stops.
Electrical damping is determined by the resistance load on the loudspeaker, which is the sum of the loudspeaker cable resistance, and the amplifier output impedance.
Electrical damping or Damping Factor (DF) is calculated by dividing the loudspeaker's voice coil resistance by the sum of the loudspeaker cable resistance and amplifier output impedance.
