Repeatability and High-Speed Validation of Supplemental Lead-Extrusion Energy Dissipation Devices

Figure 4

Quasistatic results for the 96 HF2V devices showing statistical distribution of strength. (a) Short stroke devices (tests 1–32). (b) Long stroke devices (tests 33–96). (c) Strength distribution: 32 short stroke devices. (d) Strength distribution: 64 long stroke devices. (e) Strength distribution for all 96 devices. Median strength = 270 kN; dispersion of strength (COV) = 7.2%.
