Product Overview
In this project, we simulate a Prismatic Strip Damper (PSD) subjected to cyclic loading using Abaqus.
The model is based on the experimental study presented in the reference paper. The cyclic loading is applied to the strip damper in Abaqus, and the resulting load–displacement hysteresis response is obtained and compared with the experimental results.
In this project, the PSD-5 specimen is modeled in Abaqus based on the experimental test.
Prismatic Strip Damper
The model focuses on a Prismatic Strip Damper (PSD), which consists of steel strips with a constant width along their height.
The damper is made of SS400 structural steel and is designed to dissipate energy through the deformation of the steel strips under cyclic loading. Fillets are also included in the strip geometry to reduce stress concentration.
Cyclic Loading
The Prismatic Strip Damper is subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading using a displacement-controlled loading protocol.
The loading history is defined in Abaqus using an amplitude curve, and the response of the damper is evaluated throughout the loading cycles.
Hysteresis Diagram
The cyclic response of the Prismatic Strip Damper is evaluated using the load–displacement hysteresis diagram obtained from the Abaqus results.
The hysteresis response shows the behavior of the damper during repeated loading and unloading cycles and provides an indication of its energy dissipation and cyclic performance.
Comparison of Abaqus and Experimental Results
The Normalized load–displacement hysteresis response obtained from Abaqus is compared with the experimental results reported in the reference study.
The numerical results show good agreement with the experimental response, demonstrating that the Abaqus model can reproduce the main cyclic behavior of the Prismatic Strip Damper.
Validation
The Abaqus model is validated against the experimental results reported in the reference study.
The comparison of the numerical and experimental responses shows that the model can reproduce the main behavior of the Prismatic Strip Damper under cyclic loading.
