Explanation:

Damping Ratio, ξ = c/cc

ξ = 0: Undamped System

ξ > 1: Over Damped System

ξ < 1: Under Damped System

ξ = 1: Critically Damped System

Overdamped System: ζ > 1

This is the equation of aperiodic motion i.e. the system cannot vibrate due to over-damping. The magnitude of the resultant displacement approaches zero with time.

Underdamped: ζ < 1

This resultant motion is oscillatory with decreasing amplitudes having a frequency of ωd. Ultimately, the motion dies down with time.

Critical Damping: ζ = 1

The displacement will be approaching to zero with shortest possible time.
