Abstract

A new type of torsional metallic damper was proposed. The restraint device, loading control component, energy dissipating metallic tube, rotating arm and pin bearing were composed the proposed damper. A total of six specimens were fabricated. The quasi-static low-cycle reciprocating loading tests were carried out, while the mechanical and finite element model of the damper was established. The results show that compared with the damper under combined bending-shear-torsion deformation, the damper under pure torsional deformation possesses higher bearing capacity, higher energy dissipation capacity and better ductility performance. The yielding bearing capacity of the damper with the wall thickness of 2 mm and 3 mm of energy dissipating metallic tube is increased by 10.3% and 8.1%, respectively. While the ultimate bearing capacity of that is increased by 16.3% and 10.1%, respectively. The yielding area of the energy dissipating metallic tube of the damper under pure torsional deformation diffuses from the middle to both ends. Besides, the yielding areas of that are more dispersed. Moreover, the distribution of stress and strain of that is more uniform. The mechanical model of the damper is established based on the theory of material mechanics. Theoretical calculation results about the initial stiffness and the yielding bearing capacity are basically consistent with that obtained from the test. The established finite element model can accurately predict the mechanical properties of the damper. The suggested formulas about the yielding bearing capacity, the ultimate bearing capacity and the cumulative energy dissipation of the damper under different parameters were also given.
