Abstract

A friction-metal yield composite type graded damper is characterized in that a first energy dissipation element (2), an L-shaped clamping plate (3) and a U-shaped supporting piece (4) are sequentially and symmetrically arranged on two sides of a T-shaped core plate (1); the T-shaped core plate (1), the first energy dissipation element (2) and the L-shaped clamping plate (3) are fixedly connected through a first connecting bolt (6), the U-shaped supporting piece (4) and the L-shaped clamping plate (3) are fixedly connected through a second connecting bolt (7), and the second energy dissipation element (5) and the U-shaped supporting piece (4) are fixedly connected through a bolt mechanism. Under small displacement, only the friction damper works, and the friction damper does not need to be replaced after an earthquake; under large displacement, the friction damper consumes energy, the metal damper participates in energy consumption, and only the second energy consumption element needs to be replaced after the earthquake. Compared with the traditional displacement-dependent damper, the maintenance and replacement cost can be reduced to the minimum by limiting the working range of different types of dampers according to earthquake requirements.

Background
Earthquakes and winds are extremely common natural phenomena, strong earthquakes and strong winds can become natural disasters which are unpredictable and extremely destructive, and a large number of ground buildings and structures are damaged or even collapsed, so that the life and property safety of human beings is threatened all the time. In order to avoid or reduce the damage of the main structure caused by vibration, a large number of scholars are continuously searching for various new technologies and new methods to reduce the damage of the vibration to the building structure. With the progress of science and technology and the expansion of research direction, the control theory gradually becomes an important component in the field of civil engineering structure vibration. Some researchers have proposed energy dissipation and vibration reduction techniques to reduce the damage of vibration to building structures. The energy dissipation and shock absorption technology is characterized in that a damper, a shear wall, an energy dissipation support and the like are additionally arranged in a structure, the structure enters an inelastic state firstly, energy input into the structure is consumed, the dynamic response of the main structure is reduced, and the purpose of protecting the main structure is achieved.
The middle phase correlation type damper in the vibration damping damper comprises a metal damper and a friction damper. The traditional friction damper cannot adjust the magnitude of the sliding force, if the sliding force is designed according to a small earthquake, the energy consumption is low, and the damper cannot achieve the vibration damping effect under the large earthquake; the traditional metal damper generally uses a single energy consumption material, and the designed yielding displacement is determined as long as the structure is determined, so that the damper under a small earthquake generally only provides rigidity, the structure dissipates energy, and when the yielding displacement is reached under a large earthquake, the damper participates in energy consumption. Therefore, most of the existing displacement-related dampers are single dampers, the energy consumption form is single, and the energy consumption cannot be graded under small and large earthquakes.

The invention has the beneficial effects that: most of the existing displacement-related dampers are single dampers, so that not only is the energy consumption form single, but also the energy cannot be consumed in stages under small and large earthquakes. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. the invention combines friction energy consumption and metal yield energy consumption to realize graded energy consumption.

The invention can realize displacement adjustment by changing the length of the strip hole. 3. According to the invention, by adjusting the pre-tightening force of the first bolt, the surface pressure can be adjusted, the friction energy consumption capability is changed, and the influence of the environmental temperature on the energy consumption is small. 4. The invention has simple structure and low cost, can be produced in a standardized way by a processing factory and is convenient to assemble, disassemble and replace.
