Hysteretic behavior of a stainless steel energy-dissipating device with controllable deformation capacity

Key Points

• Hysteretic behavior significantly enhances energy dissipation capacity under load, improving structural stability.
• Key evidence shows up to 40% increase in energy dissipation efficiency across tests.
• Analysis of a stainless steel energy-dissipating device demonstrates its controllable deformation capacity.
• This device may enable better design solutions in earthquake-resistant structures.
