Abstract
Merited as rapid assembly and replacement, the miniaturization design of the low yield strength steel shear panel damper has been attracted more attention of researchers. Functioned as damping structure, enough response displacement realized by large deformation capacity with enough low cycle fatigue life is very important for seismic design. Several types of tests are conducted to clarify the performance of the damper. The deformation capacity and low-cycle fatigue performance of the damper material are investigated through monotonic and constant amplitude cyclic shear tests. The deformation capacity of the actual damper affected by width to thickness ratio is verified by incremental amplitude cyclic shear tests. Combined with the constant amplitude cyclic shear tests of the damper, the failure degradation process from damper material to damper structure is systematically analyzed. According to the seismic design requirement, the deformation capacity of the damper when the fatigue cycle number is between 10 and 30 is discussed in detail. Both the accurate prediction and the simple and rapid prediction on the applicable deformation capacity of the damper are proposed according to the analysis of low-cycle fatigue life. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the damage evolution of a miniaturized damper which plays a significant role in the optimization design and practical application of the damper.
