Abstract

See full text

A damping assembly for a structure includes a housing with a first fixed end and a second movable opposite end. A first translatable portion of the housing is slidably movable relative to an adjacent second section of the housing, the former being fixedly secured to a base when the structure is under load. A viscous damper disposed within the housing is engaged only after the first translatable section has first moved beyond an initial predetermined distance indicative of a higher amplitude loading event. At least one biasing feature prevents the viscous damper from operating until the first translatable section has first moved beyond the initial predetermined distance.
