In this study, a new steel cylindrical shell configuration of the dissipative energy device is proposed to improve lateral ductility and to reduce the damage of the structures against seismic forces. Four nested-eccentric- cylindrical shells are used to constructing this device; therefore, this proposed device is named nested-eccentric-cylindrical shells damper (NECSD). The particular configuration of the nested-eccentric-cylindrical shells is applied to promote the mechanical characteristics, stability, and overall performance of the damper in cyclic loads. Shell-type components are performed as a combination of series and parallel non-linear springs into the in-plan plastic deformation. Numerical analysis with respect to dimensional variables are used to calculate the mechanical characteristics of the NECSD, and full-scale testing is conducted for verifying the numerical results. The parametric study shows the NECSD with thin shells were more flexible, while devices with thick shells were more capacious. The results from numerical and experimental studies indicate that the NECSD has a stable behavior in hysteretic loops with highly ductile performance, and can provide appropriate dissipated energy under cyclic loads.

Behavior characteristics of coil shaped elastoplastic dampers, a sort of hysteretic damper, are studied on through experiments and numerical analyses. The coil shaped elastoplastic damper shows bilinear force-deformation relationship, and no stress concentration is occurred in the device. Numerical model, which is constructed through calibration with experimental results, shows good agreement with experiment, The coil shaped elastoplastic damper has lower yielding strength and stiffness under transversal loading compared to axial leading. Additional studies are required on behavior characteristics according to configuration variation of coil shaped elastoplastic dampers.

This study develops a new hybrid passive energy dissipation device for seismic rehabilitation of an existing structure. The device is composed of a friction damper combined with a steel plate with vertical slits as a hysteretic damper. Analytical model is developed for the device, and the capacity of the hybrid device to satisfy a given target performance is determined based on the ASCE/SEI 7-10 process. The effect of the device is verified by nonlinear dynamic analyses using seven earthquake records. The analysis results show that the dissipated inelastic energy is concentrated on the hybrid damper and the maximum interstory drift of the SMRF with damping system satisfies the requirement of the current code.

본 연구에서는 내진설계 이전에 지어진 학교 건물을 대상으로 내진보강효과를 알아보기 위하여 벽체로 지지되는 강재이력형 감쇠장치를 설치하여 기존 비내진 설계된 보강 RC골조 실험결과와 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 비내진 설계된 실험체는 좌 우측 기둥의 상 하부에 피해가 집중되면서 급격한 강도저하와 함께 취성적인 전단파괴의 양상을 나타낸 반면, 더블 I형 감쇠장치를 보강한 실험체는 감쇠장치 보강으로 강도 및 강성의 증가와 함께 탄소성 거동을 보이면서 에너지 흡수 능력이 큰 타원형의 이력특성을 나타내었다. 또한, 두 실험체의 강성저하를 비교한 결과 더블 I형 감쇠장치를 보강한 실험체가 강성저하를 방지하는데도 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 에너지소산능력도 더블 I형 감쇠장치를 보강한 실험체가 비보강 실험체에 비해 약 3.5배의 향상된 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 에너지소산능력의 증진은 내력과 변형 능력의 증진에 따른 결과라고 사료된다.

It is important to have a precise model for the clutch damper in order to simulate the entire powertrain of a vehicle and predict the responses of the system. In this research, we developed a new model in which the spring used in the clutch damper is divided into a finite number of elements. The model takes many unique properties of arc-shaped springs into consideration and is anticipated to be more precise than conventional simple models. With the model, two meaningful results were presented which can be utilized afterwards. One is a simulation concerning the peak torque transmitted via the clutch damper. The other is a simulation that shows the hysteretic characteristics of the clutch damper.

In this study, a rocking behavior experiment using a guide plate and a guide channel to prevent lateral deformation of a steel damper was planned. For this purpose, strut I-type specimen I-1 and strut S-type specimen S-1 were prepared. The experimental results were compared with the existing experimental results of SI-260 and SS-260 under the same conditions without the details of lateral deformation prevention in order to evaluate the effect of preventing lateral deformation. The damper with lateral deformation prevention detail was evaluated to have superior strength capacity, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation capacity than the damper without it. Therefore, the lateral deformation prevention detail was evaluated to have a good effect in improving the design capability of the steel damper.

본 연구의 목적은 강재댐퍼 면내에 형성되는 슬릿 형상이 댐퍼의 강도 및 변형 능력에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 댐퍼 스트럿의 높이 및 각도에 대한 실험체 12개를 만들어 전단실험을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 댐퍼의 초기강성, 항복강도 및 항복 후 2차강성의 크기를 고려할 때 스트럿 높이가 200mm이고, 스트럿 각도 $60^{\circ}$인 S형 강재댐퍼의 내진성능이 가장 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 기존내력식을 이용한 댐퍼의 항복강도 비교결과, 내력식의 결과보다 실험 결과값이 크게 나와 댐퍼의 항복강도는 스트럿높이, 스트럿각도 등의 크기정도에 지배 받는 것으로 나타났다.

The proposed hybrid damper installs at a coupling beam and consists of a high-damping rubber (HDR) and steel pin. The proposed hybrid damper adopted a pin-lock system acts as a viscoelastic damper under wind load (small displacement) while it behaves as a hysteretic damper under earthquake load (large displacement). In this paper, the pin-lock mechanism and structural performance of the proposed hybrid damper is evaluated through experiment. Experiments were carried out with the variables which displacement, loading frequency and steel pin quantities were used. Test results showed that the pin-lock mechanism and the performance of the hybrid damper under a large displacement were verified. Also equivalent damping ratios of HDR were increasing at a small displacement as displacement amplitudes were increasing. However HDR did not depend on frequency.

Traditional metal dampers have disadvantages such as a higher yield point and inadequate adjustability. The experimental results show that the low yield point steel has superior energy dissipation hysteretic capacity and can be applied to seismic structures. To overcome these deficiencies, a novel compound metal damper comprising both low yield point steel plates and common steel plates is presented. The optimization objectives, including "maximum rigidity" and "full stress state", are proposed to obtain the optimal edge shape of a compound metal damper. The numerical results show that the optimized composite metal damper has the advantages such as full hysteresis curve, uniform stress distribution, more sufficient energy consumption, and it can adjust the yield strength of the damper according to the engineering requirements. In view of the mechanical characteristics of the compound metal damper, the equivalent model of eccentric cross bracing is established, and the approximate analytical solution of the yield strength and the yield displacement is proposed. A nonlinear simulation analysis is carried out for the overall aseismic capacity of three-layer-frame structures with a compound metal damper. It is verified that a compound metal damper has better energy dissipation capacity and superior seismic performance, especially for a damper with double-objective optimized shape.
