In　view　of　the　disadvantages　of　the　traditional　low　yield　point　steel　plate　dampers　with　high　yield　point　and　inadequate　adjustability,　a　compound　low　yield　point　steel　plate　damper　was　presented,　and　it　is　composed　of　low　yield　point　steel　plates　and　common　steel　plates.　Three　kinds　of　new　hollow　shape　steel　plate　dampers　were　presented,　which　include　boundary　hollow,　interior　hollow,　and　ellipse　hollow.　The　＇maximum　rigidity＇　and　＇full　stress　state＇　were　used　as　the　new　optimization　objectives.　The　topology　optimization　of　different　hollow　shapes　was　performed　by　the　alternating　optimization　method　to　obtain　the　optimal　shape.　Finite　element　calculation　of　different　forms　of　compound　steel　plate　damper　was　carried　out.　The　results　show　that　the　initial　stiffness　of　the　boundary　optimization　damper　and　interior　optimization　damper　is　lager,　the　hysteresis　curves　are　full　and　the　stress　is　homogeneous.　The　numerical　simulation　of　two　kinds　of　optimization　model　dampers　with　different　material　ratios　and　different　was　carried　out.　The　results　show　that　the　yield　point　of　compound　steel　plate　dampers　can　be　regulated.　The　overall　seismic　capacity　of　the　frame　structure　with　these　two　kinds　of　optimization　model　dampers　was　simulated　and　analyzed.　It　is　evident　that　the　boundary　optimization　model　damper　has　better　energy　dissipation　capacity.　©　2018,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　Vibration　and　Shock.　All　right　reserved.
