    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a vibration isolation system includes a heater element thermally coupled to a damping element formed of an elastomeric material having an elasticity that varies as a function of its temperature. The damping element physically couples a first structure to a second structure. The heater element selectively heats the damping element to regulate its temperature for controlling the elasticity of the damping element.
