Abstract

A vibration damping structure includes a panel which is a structure and a damping member joined to the panel. The damping member has a plurality of joined portions joined to a mating surface of the panel through respective joined surfaces in the X direction, and a plurality of spacing portions recessed toward the side opposite to the panel in the Z direction between adjacent joined portions. The damping member is formed such that the damping member is higher in damping than the panel and a resonance frequency of the damping member is formed such that it is substantially the same as a primary resonance frequency of the panel.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vibration damping structure comprising:
a first structure; and
a second structure joined to the first structure, wherein
the second structure, in an area facing the first structure, includes:
one or more joined portions joined to the first structure; and
one or more unjoined portions disposed adjacent to the joined portions and not joined to the first structure, and
the second structure is formed such that the second structure is higher in damping than the first structure and such that a resonance frequency of the second structure is substantially same as a resonance frequency of the first structure,
wherein the one or more unjoined portions of the second structure are formed so as to be spaced apart from the first structure with an interval.

2. The vibration damping structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the second structure includes at least a plurality of the joined portions, and
a spacing surface of the unjoined portion which is spaced apart from the first structure has no through hole penetrating in a direction opposite to the first structure in a joined direction of the first structure and the second structure.

3. The vibration damping structure according to claim 2 , wherein the joined portion is a rib-shaped portion provided to protrude toward a side of the first structure from the spacing surface in the joined direction.

4. The vibration damping structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the unjoined portion is formed having a first recess recessed toward a side opposite to the first structure in the joined direction,
the second structure, in an area on a side opposite in the joined direction to the area facing the first structure, includes a second recess formed so as to be recessed toward the first structure in the joined direction from a periphery, and
the first recess and the second recess in the second structure are disposed so as to overlap with each other when the second structure is viewed in plan from the joined direction.

5. The vibration damping structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the second structure includes a plurality of the joined portions and a plurality of the unjoined portions, and
in the second structure, the joined portions and the unjoined portions are alternately disposed in a direction orthogonal to a joined direction of the first structure and the second structure.

6. The vibration damping structure according to claim 5 , wherein the joined portions of the second structure are formed having a lattice shape when the joined portions and the first structure are viewed in plan from the joined direction.

7. The vibration damping structure according to claim 6 , wherein the second structure is formed such that the resonance frequency of the second structure is substantially the same as a primary resonance frequency of the first structure.

8. The vibration damping structure according to claim 7 , wherein the second structure is formed such that a primary resonance frequency of the second structure is substantially the same as the primary resonance frequency of the first structure.

9. The vibration damping structure according to claim 8 , wherein the second structure is formed with a porous material.

10. The vibration damping structure according to claim 9 , wherein
the first structure is a floor panel of a vehicle body, and
the second structure is a floor mat attached to a vehicle cabin inner side of the floor panel.

11. The vibration damping structure according to claim 9 , wherein
the first structure is a roof panel of a vehicle body, and
the second structure is a top ceiling attached to a vehicle cabin inner side of the roof panel.

12. The vibration damping structure according to claim 11 , wherein
the first structure is formed with a metal material, and
the second structure has a loss coefficient of 0.01 or more.

13. The vibration damping structure according to claim 12 , wherein in the second structure, the joined portion and the unjoined portion are integrally formed.

14. The vibration damping structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the second structure includes a plurality of the joined portions and a plurality of the unjoined portions, and
in the second structure, the joined portions and the unjoined portions are alternately disposed in a direction orthogonal to a joined direction of the first structure and the second structure.

15. The vibration damping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second structure is formed such that the resonance frequency of the second structure is substantially same as a primary resonance frequency of the first structure.

16. The vibration damping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second structure is formed such that a primary resonance frequency of the second structure is substantially same as a primary resonance frequency of the first structure.

17. A vibration damping structure comprising:
a first structure; and
a second structure joined to the first structure, wherein
the second structure, in an area facing the first structure, includes:
one or more joined portions joined to the first structure; and
one or more unjoined portions disposed adjacent to the joined portions and not joined to the first structure, and
the second structure is formed such that the second structure is higher in damping than the first structure and such that a resonance frequency of the second structure is substantially same as a resonance frequency of the first structure, wherein the second structure is formed with a porous material.

18. A vibration damping structure comprising:
a first structure; and
a second structure joined to the first structure, wherein
the second structure, in an area facing the first structure, includes:
one or more joined portions joined to the first structure; and
one or more unjoined portions disposed adjacent to the joined portions and not joined to the first structure, and
the second structure is formed such that the second structure is higher in damping than the first structure and such that a resonance frequency of the second structure is substantially same as a resonance frequency of the first structure, wherein
the first structure is formed with a metal material, and
the second structure has a loss coefficient of 0.01 or more.
