Seisma Qube is conceptualized as a sandwich structure with outer skin of natural material Bamboo to withstand elastic loading and pliable core of aluminum foam to damp the earthquake energy. The pliable core is currently under investigation to incorporate shear thickening fluid (STF) in the design to maximize the energy absorption. The product is being developed with close consultation with architectural community.

*The presented prototype has dimensions of 100 mm x 100 mm x 53 mm in length, width and thickness, respectively.
