U-shaped Steel Metal Yield Damper (MYD-U)

U-shaped Steel Metal Yield Damper (MYD-U) - MYD-U Introduction

MYD-U Introduction

A passive damper using specially designed U-shaped steel as the energy-dissipating element. Relative displacement drives plastic yielding of the U-shaped steel, converting structural kinetic energy into heat.

MYD-U Introduction 2

Its principle is based on plastic hysteretic energy dissipation. During earthquakes, structural deformation bends the U-shaped arms out of plane and forms stable hysteresis.
