    Abstract: A fluid-filled vibration damping device including a partition having a housing area, and a movable film housed in the housing area while including a central retainer held by the partition and spoke-shaped retainers extending radially outward from the central retainer. A first surface of the movable film is overlapped on a wall inner surface of the housing area. An elastic deformation zone provided circumferentially between the spoke-shaped retainers is allowed to deform in a direction away from the wall inner surface, and includes a cushion ridge projecting from a second surface of the movable film while extending radially outward from the central retainer. A height of the cushion ridge is varied in a direction of extension such that a timing of contact with an opposing wall inner surface in the housing area varies depending on an amount of deformation of the elastic deformation zone.
