If you know the values at the endpoints, then tell the spline routine.
There's no way of extending the spline, since it is only defined (in the
original) on [.1, .9]. Ordinary fitting routines (Fit) can extrapolate,
though they give warnings,
<< Graphics`Spline`
damprat = {0., 0.014997649179748, 0.054098060220146,
0.104209568084688, 0.145267085272089,
0.160493044616599, 0.145267084912456,
0.104209571529220, 0.054098058877509, 0.014997649185286, 0.};
dat = Range[0., 1, 0.1];
data1 = Table[{dat[[s]], damprat[[s]]*10/s}, {s, 1, Length[ dat]}] ;
(*The dataset i am interested in fitting a spline through*)
spline = SplineFit[data1, Cubic] ;
ParametricPlot[spline[u], { u, 0, 10},
Compiled -> True, PlotRange -> {0, 0.4}, Ticks -> {dat, Automatic}];
Works as you want.
Regards,
Dave.
