Abstract

Abstract The behavior of a bi-directional energy dissipation device made of copper was investigated. The development considered four phases: (1) characterization and numerical modeling of the cyclic plastic behavior of Electrolytic Tough Pitch copper using the Chaboche constitutive model; (2) generation of a finite element model including large deformations and the inelastic constitutive model of the material; (3) numerical design of the device using the response surface methodology; and (4) design and testing of two different proof-of-concept devices subjected to both, a unidirectional and a bi-directional displacement load path. The cyclic response of the device showed significant energy dissipation capacity even for very small deformations. It was also capable of sustaining 20 large cycles prior to failure. The numerical model used was capable of representing the cyclic response characteristics of the damper very accurately, and the proposed design process was validated using the measured response of the tested devices. It is concluded that annealed copper is an interesting material for energy dissipation and that the design procedure developed proved to be cost-effective and applicable to other metallic dampers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
