ABSTRACT:
A multidirectional mechanical device for dissipating energy, particularly for the constraint of structures in seismic zones, includes a plurality of C-shaped elastic-plastic response elements provided between two parallel planes. Each element is attached at one end by a fixed joint and at the other end by a cylindrical hinge having an axis perpendicular to the plane upon which the forces act so as to allow a portion of the element adjacent to the second end to rotate around the cylindrical hinge when the forces cause the element to become skewed.
