This chapter gives shape optimization analyses of the LOKIBASE cylindrical beam damper for a further reduction in the horizontal force F value.
Section 6.2 gives a simplified theoretical analysis of the LOKIBASE cylindrical beam damper with conical segment at the top for zero and non-zero friction. For the maximum displacement d2 , a comparison of the horizontal forces at the top of the cylindrical beam damper with conical segment (F*2 in the Figure 6.1) and at the top of the cylindrical beam damper (F2 in the Figure 3.1) is made.
Section 6.4 gives a simplified theoretical analysis of the LOKIBASE cylindrical beam damper with double-circular cross section at the bottom (in the plastic hinge segment). For the maximum displacement d2 and two LOKI devices with a k value of 6 N/mm, a comparison of the horizontal force acting in Z-direction (downaisle direction, the weakest) on the LOKIBASE device with optimized cylindrical beam damper (Fdc2,Z,LOKIBASE in the Table 6.7.2) and the horizontal force acting in the same direction on the LOKIBASE device with cylindrical beam damper (Fc2,LOKIBASE in the Table 6.6) is made.
