It's likely going to be mostly linear over some range of velocities, but the boundaries of that range and the damper's behavior at the extremes are going to be design dependent and deviate from the simple linear model the manufacturer provides. There's also likely to be hysteresis and temperature dependence as well. If you need more details or a more precise model, you need to ask the manufacturer or do testing on your own to determine what those are. You should also expect some amount of part-to-part variation on the damping as well | |

And if so, for which damping mechanisms does that relationship hold? E.g., I might suspect such a relationship to only apply (if anywhere) to a simple piston damper using an ideal fluid. | |
