Studies on Energy Dissipation Mechanism of an Innovative Viscous Damper Filled with Oil and Silt

To improve seismic performance of a traditional viscous damper, an innovative viscous damper is proposed, in which the conventional damping medium is replaced by a mixture of oil and silt. This new medium is expected to increase damping force and solve the problem that arises out of the fact that th...
