Abstract
This study aims to apply the damping rubber sheet to vibration control of the member of a transmission tower. This Paper reports the basic damping properties of the rubber sheet patch which contributes to the vibration control of a steel plate which vibrates in a low frequency range. Our experimental results indicated that the rubber sheet patch which is attached on the steel plate using only glue was not effective for vibration control. However it was found that the rubber sheet which was attached on the plate using glue became very effective for low－frequency vibration by binding using other small steel plates. Finally, it was found that the damping rubber sheet has possibility to be useful as a damping device for the member vibration of a transmission tower
