Sorry can't figure out how to embed images that someone else uploaded to Flickr

So then if 0-2 in/s is considered low speed, would high speed be considered 2+ in/s? Low speed ideal compression damping would be 66% and ideal rebound damping would be 150%, and ideal high speed damping would be half that of the low speed. When plotting this, you end up with less "ideal" damping at 3 in/s due to the transition. What exactly occurs during the middle speed transition, and what is the best way of modeling this? I would like to learn more about this. Thanks in advance.
