In progress of anti-shock characteristics of small size precision equipment, a miniaturized damper is required to have better damping characteristics. However, damping efficiency becomes less as damper size decreases, and so for compensation of its defect, a porous elastic sheet damper with a magnetic fluid is proposed. An analytical estimation of this sheet damper is presented to investigate variation of damping characteristics with intensity and direction of a magnetic field and to give effects of porosity of porous sheets on damping characteristics.
