Shape Optimization Study of Mild Steel Slit Dampers

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presented a new mild steel slit damper(SSD). The new shape was parabolic according to all the cross section having the same maximal stress, and the elastic stiffness and yield displacement formula were derived. Finite element analysis showed that the parabolic shaped damper had a more reasonable load - displacement curve compared with the previously proposed shape. The theoretical stiffness and yield displacement were consistent with the results by finite element method (FEM), and that indicated the presented design method was simple and feasible.
