Experimental Tests and Analytical Modelling of a Scaled Isolated Structure on Sliding and Elastomeric Bearings

Figure 14

Experimental and numerical (VE isolation model) results for the isolation system.

(a) Motion 287@175% (VE isolation model: = 345 kN/m; = 25%)

(b) Motion 287@150% (VE isolation model: = 520 kN/m; = 20%)

(c) Motion 287@100% (VE isolation model: = 800 kN/m; = 13%)

(d) Motion 290@150% (VE isolation model: = 580 kN/m; = 16%)

(e) Motion 290@100% (VE isolation model: = 650 kN/m; = 20%)
