A heuristic viscosity-type dissipation of strains is applied for controlling high frequency oscillationdamping in a one-step time integration. The basicidea of the approach is to apply damping in locations,where it is needed, at times when it is needed. To thisend a computationally efficient algorithm for identifyingthe need for damping is developed. The identificationalgorithm keeps track of the number of recent changesof signs of strain increments, which helps in decisionwhether damping should be engaged or not. A specialscaling function is introduced to smoothen the transitionbetween the damped and undamped phases. Theapproach is verified in the analysis of the geometricallyexact plane elastic beam.
