The aim of the project of which this work forms a part is the experimental and analytical evaluation of elastomeric dampers (EDs) as passive energy dissipation devices. Elastomeric dampers consist of a rubbery material bonded between two steel plates; they have similar characteristics to viscoelastic dampers, but are less sensitive to frequency and temperature, a fact which make them more effective. This paper describes analytical and experimental research aimed at fully capturing the behaviour of a proprietary damper, developed by TARRC (the Tun Abdul Razak Research Centre, UK) and generating a numerical model of the damper for use in analysis and design. A modified Generalised Maxwell Model is shown to give an excellent fit to experimental test data. In addition, preliminary structural analyses using a simplified damper model show the potential benefits of elastomeric dampers on seismic performance.
