Abstract:
A seismic axial dampener device is constructed of a multitude of composite or metallic conical compression discs and an exo-structure capable of dampening both tension and compression cycles of a building structure due to a seismic, explosion, or wind event. The dampener reacts and dampens the loading in both tension and compression along the axis of the cross brace in linear-elastic bending, creating internal hoop stress, and not through shear of the dampener device.

Claim (Index 1):
A brace for bracing a structure, comprising:\n a plurality of discs disposed coaxially to form a disc stack, the disc stack being concentric to a single central axis of the brace,\n the discs comprising fibers within a polymer resin matrix, the fibers comprising carbon, aramid, or glass, \n each disc having a concave surface and a substantially perpendicular convex surface, \n the discs disposed in pairs such that the convex surfaces of alternating pairs are oriented in substantially opposed directions, wherein \n the brace is adapted to dampen loading in both tension and compression along the single central axis in linear-elastic bending.
