Abstract:Displacement‐dependent dampers with relatively low post‐yielding stiffness exhibits abrupt stiffness loss and can even induce notable damage concentrations under strong vibrations. A lattice‐shaped friction unit (LSFU) composed of steel strips and friction discs is proposed and it can dissipate most input energy through translational friction and rotational friction and provide post‐yielding stiffness through the axial strength of vertical strips. Measurements of the friction coefficient and torque coefficient ratio and quasi‐static analysis of the LSFU are conducted, the results indicate that the ratio rises first and then drops to a constant value. Under cyclic loading, the two friction mechanisms could work together effectively and the contribution of each component contained in the restoring force could be controlled by adjusting design parameters of the LSFU; the assembly accuracy of the components affect the resistance of vertical strips. The experiment results of two specimens are compared with those obtained from the developed formulas and numerical simulations. A design procedure and applicable style are proposed. Nonlinear seismic response analysis results show that these devices can reduce the displacement response effectively under small and moderate earthquakes and can also prevent concentrated damage and weak‐story occurrence in the structure relative to friction‐damped brace frame in strong earthquakes.
