Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided a damping structure capable of obtaining a sufficient damping effect even against vibrations of small amplitudes, by promoting movements of powder/particle materials inside a hollow body. In the damping structure of the invention, a damping memberis provided on a structureto be damped. The damping memberincludes a hollow bodywhich is filled with powder/particle materials, partially leaving a space. A vibration wall face partwhich vibrates more violently than the structure, on receiving vibration, is formed in at least a part of wall face partsof the hollow body. The vibration wall face partis preferably formed of a material having a lower elastic modulus and/or a lower density than the other parts.
