1)Viscoelastic Dampers (VED)
Visco-elastic damper is a kind of damping device that mainly relies on the hysteretic energy dissipation property of visco-elastic material to provide additional stiffness and damping for the structure and reduce the dynamic response of the structure to realize the purpose of structural vibration damping. This special viscous material absorbs the energy generated by the vibration of the building through the shear deformation under the action of the external force and transforms it into thermal energy, which ultimately reduces the vibration response of the building.
2)Viscous Friction Damper (VFD)
Viscous Friction Dampers are vibration damping devices consisting of a high-strength metal cylinder, piston, guide rod, sealing element, and viscous damping fluid. When the cylinder and the piston are in motion with each other, the built-in viscous damping fluid moves and generates a kind of throttling and damping force, which can maximize the absorption and consumption of the impact energy of earthquakes on the building structure, and alleviate the impacts and damages caused by earthquakes on the body of the building structure.
3)Buckling Restrained Bearing (BRB)
BRB is a metal tensile and compressive energy-consuming vibration damping device, whether in tension or compression can be achieved to carry the full load surface yielding axial force of the device, compared to the traditional bracing components, has more stable mechanical properties, in the case of compression, showing the same hysteresis properties and excellent energy dissipation capacity, this characteristic makes it has a dual structural function, both to provide the necessary lateral stiffness, and for the structure of the additional damping It can provide the necessary lateral stiffness and additional damping for the structure, which reduces the vibration response of the structure under rare earthquakes.
4)Friction Damper (FD)
Utilizing the friction force generated on the contact surface when two contacting objects are displaced relative to each other in the opposite direction of slip, the vibration energy of the building is converted into thermal energy to be absorbed and dissipated.
5)Metallic yielding damper (MYD)
It is welded by soft steel material, utilizing the characteristics of soft steel material such as low yield strength, high ductility and good energy dissipation ability, etc. The purpose of dissipating structural energy is achieved by accumulating plastic deformation through the bending deformation of soft steel.
