New Metallic Damper with Multiphase Behavior for Seismic Protection of Structures

This paper proposes a new metallic damper based on the plastic deformation of mild steel. It is intended to function as an energy dissipation device in structures subjected to severe or extreme earthquakes. The damper possesses a gap mechanism that prevents high-cycle fatigue damage under wind loads...
