Numerical study of visco-hyperelastic damper with high axial damping rubber subjected to harmonic loading

Structural control prevents structural damage and provides the desirable performance level through the ductility of components and using passive energy dissipation systems. In this paper, the performance of a recently introduced passive control device called Visco-Hyperelastic Damper (VHD) is investigated by ABAQUS FEM software. This device has the properties of both velocity-dependent and displacement-dependent dampers and provides additional...
