A three dimensional seismic isolation system was developed and experimentally validated for high-voltage electric power transformers of weight in the range of 300 to 800kip. Although the validation ...

This study concentrated on the development of a practical low-cost seismic isolation system for lightweight residential construction. The study concluded that single concave rolling isolators cast in ...

Researchers have developed a novel negative-stiffness isolation device that offers a pioneering solution for seismic protection. The device, designed to provide multidirectional negative stiffness and ...

A team led by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency has concluded a series of large-scale demonstration tests for an innovative new floating seismic isolation system intended for pairing with small modular ...

In analysis, it is common practice to conceptualize structures, objects, and isolation systems as basic mass-spring-damper models, as depicted in Figure 42.1. All objects experience vibration when ...
