Abstract
A structural brace may include a core member, which may include a first end, a second end, and a center portion. The center portion may include a cutout pattern disposed along a length of the center portion. In response to absorption of energy from seismic forces, the core member may provide plastic deformation and may be resistant to buckling. The structural brace may include a housing, which may surround at least the center portion of the core member. The structural brace may include a spacing material between the core member and the housing.
