Dampers: Types And Mechanism | Rajesh Ambwani IIT
A damper system in any construction plays an important part because it protects the structural integrity of a building. Dampers can control structural damage and it helps in protecting the residents from any injury because they can decrease the deformation of the structure and can absorb seismic energy. There are various types of dampers that help in preventing harmful deflection and forces. 1. Viscoelastic Dampers The Viscoelastic dampers stretch an elastomer combined with metal parts. These dampers cause the mechanical energy to disappear by transforming it into heat. These are very popular and have been successfully incorporated in many tall buildings to subdue the effects of wind and earthquake. 2. Viscous Dampers Rajesh Ambwani , our expert, describes the Viscous damper as one of the best dampers for high-rise buildings, especially in seismic areas. These dampers absorb seismic energy with the help of silicon-based fluid passing throug...
