Steel plate dampers are relatively easy and economical to fabricate, which offers a potential seismic design and retrofit solution. The seismic energy dissipation through steel plate dampers is achieved by the shear yielding of the web portion, while the flanges remain elastic. This research investigated a specific type of steel plate dampers with honeycomb-shaped perforations. The results revealed that the honeycomb damper can provide effective energy dissipation potential with proper design of geometric properties.
