In most structural response and stability problems, the structural damping is a significant parameters, and its prediction is often an educated guess because of uncertainties in damping values. Present practice is to assume a conservative lower bound of the damping value, which can result in the 'overdesign' of structures because the experimentally determined damping may be as much as an order of magnitude larger than the value used for the design. This paper presents the concept of Adaptive Damping, whose objective is to use the damping material's temperature dependence as a control parameter to adjust the damping value. The present application is to limit the response of a structure when subjected to high excitation forces. Preliminary results show a doubling of the damping ratio in a simple beam structure.
