Fluid viscous dampers are primarily composed of cylinder, piston, piston rod, fluid medium and connectors. The cylinder is filled with the medium fluid and the piston divides the cylinder and the fluid into two sections. As the piston moves within the cylinder, the fluid flows from one section into the other, generating heat in the process.
Viscous Damper Wall
Viscoelastic damper
Friction dampers consist of one central steel plate flanked by two outer steel plates, with the friction materials sandwiched in between.
Rotary friction damper
Wind resistance device
Metal damper is composed of shear plates and connecting end plates.
Anti-buckling steel wall
Double-stage buckling energy consumption coupling beam
A buckling-restrained brace (BRB) primarily consists of three components: a core steel brace member, a steel casing and a non-structural filling material.
