Abstract: This report presents the development and validation of a practical three-directional seismic isolation system for use in high-voltage power transformers, although the technology could easily ...

Keywords: Earthquake engineering, seismic isolation, deformable rolling bearings, low-cost isolation for lightweight structures, triaxial shake table testing, and isolator behavior modeling. Abstract: ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
