Claim 16:
17. The device of claim 1 wherein the device is configured to be directly supportive of a structure, or located within a control structure; and wherein the constant resistive yield force produced by the resistively and resiliently deformable elastoplastically yielding flexural member enables the structure or control structure, in response to base motion input, to form a stable elastoplastic mechanism;
the structure or control structure able to cyclically displace and plastically flow while maintaining the constant resistive yield force;
the structure or control structure, enabled to control and limit forces developed within itself and within its supporting foundations, and to control and limit response accelerations and dynamic forces of masses it is supportive of or of masses supported by other structures it is seismically supportive of as it resists and endures with the constant resistive yield force, ground or base motion input from a seismic event, or from blast impact of ground at distance, or from load or impact load applied directly to structure.
