Hysteretic behavior of improved Pall-typed frictional dampers

A new type of Pall frictional damper (PFD) with a simple configuration has been developed. The construction details, operation and damper force of the improved PFD (IPFD) are compared with those of the original PFD (OPFD). Force analyses using the virtual work principle show that the resisting force...
