Triangular prismatic tuned mass damper suitable for large-span or cantilever structures

The invention involves a triangular prismatic tuned mass damper suitable for large-span or cantilever structures, including a triangular prism box, particle damping units inside the triangular prism box, and a steel mass block. Below the triangular prism box are high-damping springs. The particle damping unit consists of a particle damping cavity, particles of three different sizes, and foam rubber pads. When the structural vibration amplitude is small, the particles dissipate energy by compressing the foam rubber pads and rolling. When the amplitude of structural vibration is large, the energy is dissipated by the collision of particles and the compression of the foam rubber.

Displacement amplification self-centering friction damper

This invention relates to a kind of displacement amplification self-centering friction damper. The device uses gears to convert the axial deformation into the rotation of the friction-disc, and the friction device engages in friction at the edge of the friction-disc, then the displacement can be amplified and therefore it can reduce the frictional force and prolong the service life of friction components. At the same time, through gear transmission, the friction force provided by the friction device can increase with the increase of relative displacement, then it can provide suitable energy dissipation capability under different working conditions. Additionally, the device can automatically return to its initial state by disc-spring, and also provides self-centering capability for the structure simultaneously, advantageous in reducing residual deformation of the structure under severe earthquake. Compared with existing technologies, this invention has a better energy dissipation effect and is suitable for vibration control in engineering structures.
