Description

Accelerated liquid flow damper' utilizes turbulent flow resistance of liquid which is driven into small tubes by a piston-cylinder system and is characterized by very large force capacity and nonlinearly increasing resistance against structural vibration of large amplitude. Resisting force rules are derived by excitation test of the damper and applicability of the damper to base-isolated reactor buildings is examined by earthquake response analyses of the damped system.
