  Combined effects of the damping and forcing in the underdamped time-delayed
Duffing oscillator are considered in this paper. We analyze the generation of a
certain damping-induced unpredictability, due to the gradual suppression of
interwell oscillations. We find the minimal amount of the forcing amplitude and
the right forcing frequency to revert the effect of the dissipation, so that
the interwell oscillations can be restored, for different time delay values.
This is achieved by using the delay-induced resonance, in which the time delay
replaces one of the two periodic forcings present in the vibrational resonance.
A discussion in terms of the time delay of the critical values of the forcing
for which the delay-induced resonance can tame the dissipation effect is
finally carried out.
