Metallic (Yield) Damper (MD)

Metal dampers, also known as metal yielding dampers, are typically made of steel. They are designed to undergo plastic deformation when a building experiences a strong earthquake, thereby absorbing seismic energy and reducing structural vibrations. This deformation of metal damper will not returning to its original shape after a significant earthquake and necessitating a replacement.

ACTS-SDT also offer and has experiences in many different types of dampers, include metallic dampers, together with other earthquake experts and other world-renowned earthquake research labs. 

Metallic dampers are well-known passive energy dissipation device. The structural response can be reduced when subjected to wind and earthquake by mounting metallic damper into the buildings, thereby reduces energy-dissipating demand on primary structural members and minimizes possible structural damage. Its effectiveness and low cost are now well recognized and extensively tested in the past in civil engineering.
