ABSTRACT:
A cyclic absorber of energy in massive quantities. It is suitable for installation between two parts of a structure that would be caused to move relative to each other by earthquakes or heavy winds. Energy is absorbed by the cyclic, flexural deformation into the plastic range of a main beam which may be a single or double cantilever. Strain of the main beam may be distributed and the capacity of the device increased, by short auxiliary cantilevers initially in contact with the main beam.
