Restkippung
Restkippung is a term used in German-language technical discourse to describe the remaining tilt or inclination of an object after a tipping event or after a disturbance has been damped or removed. It denotes a residual state rather than the initial disturbance and is typically expressed as a tilt angle relative to a reference plane.
Applications and contexts vary: in geotechnical engineering, Restkippung can refer to the permanent tilt of a
Influencing factors include the stiffness and damping of supports and components, friction at joints, material yielding,
Measurement and analysis typically involve determining the final tilt angle through static equilibrium calculations or small-signal
Terminology and usage can vary, and Restkippung is not uniformly standardized across fields. Related concepts include
