Analytical Investigation of the Structural Fuse Concept

Passive energy devices (PED) are useful to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. Metallic dampers are one such PED. When they are designed such that all damage is concentrated on the PED devices, allowing the primary structure to remain elastic, they can b...
