Hysteretic damper

Educational level: this is a research resource. |
Hysteretic damper is intended to provide better and more reliable seismic performance than that of a conventional structure at the expense of the seismic load energy dissipation.[1] There are four major groups of hysteretic dampers used for the purpose, namely:
Fluid viscous damper installed in a building structure
- Fluid viscous dampers (FVDs)
- Metallic yielding dampers (MYDs)
- Viscoelastic dampers (VEDs)
- Friction dampers (FDs)
Each group of dampers has specific characteristics, advantages and disadvantages for structural applications.
