Dampers for a frame structure
The frame damper system with leaf spring assemblies and a central core element addresses the uncoordinated response of conventional dampers, ensuring frame stability and flexibility by absorbing and transmitting forces, preventing failure and reducing weight.

AI Technical Summary
Conventional frame damper systems in steel frame buildings exhibit an uncoordinated response behavior, either reacting too softly or too stiffly to deformations, failing to reliably prevent frame failure under critical loads, and increasing weight and reducing flexibility in large structures.
A frame damper system using leaf spring assemblies with elastic sections and a central core element, comprising steel or reinforced concrete, absorbs and transmits forces through stacked leaf springs and an elliptical cylinder, providing coordinated damping and restoring forces to maintain frame stability.
The system effectively absorbs and transmits vibration and thrust forces, maintaining frame stability by elastic deformation and friction, returning the frame to its original position post-vibration, thus preventing failure and reducing weight impact.
