The Effects of Dynamic Loading on Hysteretic Behavior of Frictional Dampers

During an earthquake excitation, a frictional damper may experience many cycles of dynamic loading. The effects of wear and heat induced by the cyclic loading result in the possible decay of the slippage load which subsequently reduce the energy absorption of the damper. In this paper, the effect of...
