Abstract

Respect to the concept of the control structures, the author of this study recently suggested a novel hysteresis damper with named nested-eccentric-cylindrical shells damper (NESD) for increasing the damping in structures.
According to the greater ability of the shell structures versus the plate structures, the NESD is designed based on the shell structures. The configuration of the shells in the NESD is designed in such a way that it can be increasing the performance and stability of the device. These members are as well as the multi-springs with the combination of series and parallel form. Also, the configuration of this device is designed by the simple form and with an easy way to install in structures. However, to evaluate the seismic performance of the proposed damper, the NESD used into the structures with various heights with four, eight, and twelve floors and analyzed by dynamic nonlinear time history. The seismic analyses are run with eleven records by particular geography characteristics of seismic hazard zone. In this evaluation, the efficiency of this damper in damping seismic energy and reducing the displacement and base shear responses is approved. In the seismic analysis, Therefore, by modeling this damper in structures, it was found that by using this damper in structures could be a damping of up to 35% of the seismic energy in the structures and reduce an average of 50% in displacement and could cause a reduction of 7 to 27% in the base shear for the structures. However, it was found that the NESD could be better behavior for reducing the response of mid-rise structures.
