  • viscosity member 124 may be fitted into the holes 122 . Because the viscosity member 124 transforms as shown in FIG. 14B when the temperature changes, temperature dependency of damping performance of the board 120 may be reduced. It should be noted that volume of deformation of viscosity member 124 are emphasized in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B .
  • Damping performance of a vibration damping member may be kept constant relative to the change of temperature.
  • FIG. 15 shows such variation.
  • Viscosity 136 is put inside an outer shell 130 .
  • a lid 138 is placed over the viscosity 136 .
  • a cover 132 on the outer shell 130 and the lid 138 are coupled by expansion members 134 .
  • the expansion members 134 are made of shape-memory alloy and expand in response to the temperature. Thus, temperature dependency of damping performance of viscosity 136 can be reduced because the volume that viscosity 136 can deform is changed.
