Abstract

Mechanism and characteristics of metal damping, including basic principle of metal damper, properties of steel with low yield point, and type and calculation performance of metal damper are introduced. Four calculation model, i.e. ideal elastoplastic model, bilinear model, Ramberg-Osgood model and Bouc-Wen model are analyzed and discussed. About tension-compression type metal damper, working mechanism of buckling proof brace and new buckling proof support are interpreted. About shear type metal damper, stress mechanism of unconstrained shear steel plate, buckling proof design of in-plane shear yield type energy dissipation steel plate, main performance parameters of buckling prevention shear energy dissipation plate and new shear metal damper are introduced. About bending metal damper, drum-shaped open hole soft steel damper and curved steel plate damper are elaborated.
