FORCE LIMITER AND ENERGY DISSIPATER
An earthquake force limiter and energy dissipater for racks or buildings. The device allowing stable yielding action of a flexure plate to enable control structures or standard structural frames to form a stable cycling high displacement elasto-plastic mechanism in resistive response to a seismic ground motion input. The stable flexural yielding of the plates limits the magnitude of forces developed within the control structure of which the plates are part of; or within a standard structural frame found in racking structures or general building structures, which the plate is typically directly supportive of. The design reduces prying action or tensile or compressive membrane forces developing in a plate of the device; so that the plate can maintain a stable constant resistive force while yielding to high transverse displacements.
