Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of Prefabricated Concrete Frame with a Cam-Type Response Amplifying Device of Viscous Damper by Luyao Wei, Huijiao Nie

“…On the basis of the unit library provided by ABAQUS, the secondary development was carried out and the dynamic time history analysis was performed on the solid model of the prefabricated frame structure. We selected the displacement angle between layers as the structural damage index and used the dynamic incremental method to analyze the seismic vulnerability of the uncontrolled structure without the cam-type response amplification device and the added damping structure. …”
