Abstrakt: This paper describes the mechanical operation and presents parametric studies for the Energy Dissipating Restraint (EDR). The EDR is a strongly self-centering passive friction-based seismic energy dissipator with a wide range of hysteretic behaviors. In the behaviors of most interest in seismic design, the slip load is proportional to displacement. Typically the EDR would be installed in a building as part of the bracing system which resists seismically induced lateral forces.
