ABSTRACT A new yielding damper, called Bar Damper (BD), made of a number of solid
bars sandwiched between two plates is introduced in this paper. Based on a simplified …

Abstract A Metallic Box-Shaped Damper (BSD) which is introduced here, is an effective
energy dissipator device which is very simple and low-cost. BSD is a box made of several …

Dampers have become more popular recently for vibration control of structures, because of
their safe, effective and economical design. This paper presents an overview of literature …

SUMMARY A damper system that absorbs energy over a wide range of displacement
amplitudes during building vibration was proposed. This system uses a serial connection of …

In this paper, a new passive earthquake damper termed as Bar-Fuse Damper (BFD) is
presented for frame structures. The BFD is developed from common steel sections such as …

ABSTRACT A variety of yielding dampers have been proposed with different materials and
configurations and constructed for various structures to improve their seismic performance …

In this study, a damper which was developed in order to avoid damages during an
earthquake on steel frames was investigated. The goal of this system is to limit plastic …

Steel braced frames are structures installed in order to resist lateral forces of the earthquake
in the construction. Despite the high stiffness and strength of these lateral systems, most of …

This paper presents a new type of hysteretic metallic damper device, named bar damper
(BD). BD is mainly made of three simple steel parts that includes top and bottom steel plates …

Increasing damping in structures has long been recognized as a means of reducing
dynamic response amplification during earthquakes. Added stiffness also generally reduces …
