The pseudo viscous frictional energy dissipator a new device for mitigating seismic effects.

Viscous energy dissipators (EDORs) have good suppressing effects on acceleration or base shear and they do not add axial pressure to the column when peak moment in the column occurs at peak displacement. Pall frictional EDORs can dissipate energy even when the compression brace buckles due to a spec...
