Shear Metal Yield Damper (MYD-V)

Shear Metal Yield Damper (MYD-V) - MYD-V Introduction

MYD-V Introduction

A displacement-dependent damper using in-plane plastic shear deformation of steel plates. It typically consists of a core plate and restraining plates that prevent out-of-plane buckling.

MYD-V Introduction 2

MYD-V has small yield displacement and can dissipate energy under smaller earthquakes while contributing stiffness to the structure. It is compact, easy to replace, and suitable for wall-type or brace-type layouts.

Connection Type

Connections between dampers and the main structure include wall-type, brace-type, column-type, portal-frame, and haunch-brace arrangements, with wall-type and brace-type most common.

Connection Type 2

Wall-type connection is flexible and can coordinate with openings. Brace-type connection uses steel braces extending from beam-column joints, with shorter construction period but more fixed layout.
