Abstract:
Axial buckling restrained braces are provided. In various embodiments, a device comprises a plurality of cylindrical sleeves arranged parallel to each other. Each of the plurality of sleeves has an interior surface defining an interior region. A plastically deformable rod is arranged within the interior region of each of the plurality of sleeves. The plastically deformable rod is adapted to assume a helical shape upon compression.

Claim (Index 43):
A method of dampening motion of a structure having a first beam and a second beam, the method comprising:\n providing a device comprising:\n a first cylindrical sleeve and a second cylindrical sleeve arranged parallel to each other, the first cylindrical sleeve and the second cylindrical sleeve each having an interior surface defining an interior region; \n a first plastically deformable rod disposed within the interior region of the first cylindrical sleeve and a second plastically deformable rod disposed within the interior region of the second cylindrical sleeve, the first and second plastically deformable rods adapted to assume a helical shape upon axial compression, the first and second plastically deformable rods having a first end and a second end; \n a first end fitting affixed to the first plastically deformable rod and the second plastically deformable rod; and \n a second end fitting affixed to the first plastically deformable rod and the second plastically deformable rod at the second end. \n affixing the first end fitting to the first beam of the structure; and affixing the second end fitting to the second beam of the structure.
