Latest Patents

Ou Yang is associated with 1 patent: “Anti-seismic component and buffer with dual functions of energy consumption and bearing capacity.” The invention describes a core shaft connected to first and second support members, whose overhanging sections extend on opposite sides of the shaft and form an angle of less than 180 degrees.

The component is designed to serve as an inclined brace in a building frame. It uses torsional energy dissipation in a circular tube rather than the axial tension-and-compression approach used by traditional buckling-restrained braces. According to the patent description, this design avoids support buckling and the need for an external restraint component. It can also reduce steel use, eliminate mortar filling, simplify installation, and lower manufacturing costs.
