Sliding T-shaped beams and elastic springs dissipate vibration energy, mitigating structural damage from seismic loads on transmission towers.
Fuse members yield at a predetermined load limit to prevent damping element damage during extreme lateral loads.
Segmented elongate members rotate to absorb external forces, resolving positioning constraints while reducing structural damage risk.
A modular shelter disguised as a file cabinet uses AR500 armor plates and castors for mobile ballistic protection.
A rocker frame assembly uses rotary yield units to dissipate seismic energy through controlled flexure.
A link-fuse joint accommodates plate slippage through diagonal slots to maintain structural integrity during seismic events.
A resilient bearing uses angled elastic limbs to absorb seismic energy through compressive, tensile, and shear deformation.
Segmentation and dynamics principles enable occupants to hide inside a disguised shelter while maintaining ballistic protection against intruders.
Friction dampers dissipate seismic energy into heat, reducing accelerations and base reactions in steel buildings.
A composite material reinforcement device disperses shear forces and negative moments in box-type concrete structures.
Rippled steel plates straighten under load to resist downward movement and prevent progressive collapse in steel frames.
