Curved Metal Yield Damper (MYD-M)

Curved Metal Yield Damper (MYD-M) - MYD-M Introduction

MYD-M Introduction

A damper that dissipates seismic energy through plastic deformation of low-yield-strength steel such as Q100LY, Q160LY, or Q225LY.

MYD-M Introduction 2

Metal-yield dampers can generally be categorized as shear-yield, bending-yield, or combined bending-shear types according to the energy-dissipation mechanism.
