Strength Estimation and Fundamental Characteristics of the New Rotational Friction Damper with Translational Movement
Abstract
This paper explores the strength estimation and hysteretic characteristics of a rotational friction damper with translational movement. The experiment comprised two distinct cases: one involving only rotation and the other allowing rotation combined with translational movement. Notably, in the case integrating translational movement, the load demonstrated an incremental trend aligned with displacement, attributing this behavior to the effect of translational movement. Two strength estimation models were introduced and subsequently benchmarked against both experimental observations and finite element analysis outcomes. The findings indicated a strong alignment between the calculated values derived from the proposed strength estimation model, grounded in work principles, and the observed behavior evident in the test results.
