Underdamping is the opposite to overdamping. Damping is the process of slowing a response time or lessening the response. When underdamping occurs the system response time or degree of response to feedback has not been damped enough so that when underdamping occurs the desired effect is achieved through the system seesawing through the critical condition, such as a car fishtailing because of speeding and adjustment to direction being made too fast. Each time the adjustment is smaller until the desired value is reached. These systems are not as stable as overdamped systems.
