A study on using pre-bent steel strips as seismic energy-dissipative devices.
Buckling is usually conceived as an unstable structural behavior leading to lateral instability of axially loaded members, if not properly supported. However, a pre-bent strip would become an excellent seismic energy-dissipative device if it is deformed in a guided direction and range. Geometrically...
