Dampers have become more popular recently for vibration control of structures, because of their safe, effective and economical design. This paper presents an overview of literature related to the behavior of dampers on seismically affected structures. The review includes different types of dampers like metallic dampers, viscoelastic dampers, frictional dampers etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
