Vertical link beam as a practical yielding damper is a kind of passive control device which dissipates seismic energy and thus reduces the rate of damage to structures through in-plane shear deformations. Proper stiffness, ductility and significant energy dissipation of these dampers together with their practical advantages justify their widespread experimental and numerical research. In this paper,...
