damplification
Damplification is a term used in discussions of dynamic systems to describe the deliberate combination of damping and amplification within a single design to shape a system's response. It refers to configuring energy dissipation and gain in a coordinated way, rather than applying damping and amplification separately. The concept draws on familiar ideas from control theory, signal processing, and vibroacoustics, where overshoot, instability, or excessive noise can arise from unmitigated gain.
In electronics, damplification may involve an amplifier stage that includes lossy impedance, saturating feedback, or nonlinear
Design and analysis typically use standard tools such as transfer functions, Bode plots, Nyquist criteria, and
