Optimal damping - 0.64 of critical damping coefficient.
1. Amplitude distortion is minimised,
2. Optimal frequency response secured, phase distortion minimised. (The tradeoff between the tendency to overshoot vs the response time.) approx 6% overshoot.

Here is an example of an arterial pressure trace with progressively increasing damping.
Note the minimal change in the mean arterial pressure.
