An Architectural Engineering Performance Certification has been obtained
The Sumitomo Rubber Super High Damping Visco-Elastic Damper System was granted an Architectural Engineering Performance Certification by the General Building Research Corporation of Japan
Contents of certification
- (1)Hysteresis properties of the visco-elastic damper
- This visco-elastic damper, when within the appropriate range of application, possesses consistent hysteresis properties (equivalent stiffness, equivalent damping coefficient, yielded load).
- (2)Modeling of hysteresis properties of the visco-elastic damper
- When within the appropriate range of application, and given specific conditions for strain (amplitude), temperature, and frequency, the hysteresisproperties of this visco-elastic damper can be modeled using the Strain Dependency Bilinear Model or the Strain Dependency-type Revised Hardin-Drnevich Model.
- (3)Modeling of hysteresis properties of the visco-elastic damper system
- Given sufficient stiffness and durability of the mounting framework and surrounding structural framework (columns, beams, braces etc.), this visco-elastic damper system should have hysteresis properties proportional to the number of visco-elastic dampers installed, and as such can be modeled.
