application field

As one of the research achievements in energy dissipation and vibration reduction systems in the field of structural engineering, metal yield dampers have also been widely used in the construction industry in recent years. Many engineering application examples have shown that metal yield dampers not only greatly improve the disaster resistance of structures, but also save a considerable proportion of construction costs compared to traditional structural design methods.

Its application areas include:

RC/SRC Steel Structure New Construction Project

Structural seismic reinforcement and strengthening engineering

Civil buildings, commercial public buildings, industrial plant buildings, lifeline engineering

working principle

Metal Yield Damper (MYD) is a structural seismic (vibration) device made of special metal materials (soft steel) or alloys, which is easy to yield and has high energy consumption. It mainly utilizes the non elastic characteristics of special soft steel plates after yielding to dissipate the energy input into the structure by external excitations such as earthquakes. It belongs to displacement related energy dissipation and vibration reduction devices. The use of soft steel sheet has the advantages of low yield point, durability, and long-term maintenance free use. Its seismic (vibration) performance is not affected by temperature, and it is currently one of the most economically efficient products among various energy dissipation and shock absorption devices.
