Abstract
A vibration damping system () includes a laminated body () formed by alternately laminating rigid hard plates () and viscoelastic soft plates (). At both ends in the laminating direction, the laminated body () is connected to a vibration generation section and a vibration receiving section, respectively. The soft plate () arranged in a region subjected to a higher isostatic stress is made thicker than the soft plates () arranged in other regions. Even when the vibration damping system () is applied with vibration having a large amplitude and prying deformation is thereby caused, the soft members () are prevented from isostatic fracture to provide a significantly improved durability of the vibration damping system ().
