Abstract
The friction and viscous damping actions always cause nonlinear responses of a seismic isolation system under earthquakes. Their influence on the seismic responses needs investigation in detail. In order to analyze the effects of nonlinear phenomenon on the seismic isolation system, a mathematical model was built for such a nonlinear isolation system, and the nonlinear responses were calculated and analyzed. The numerical results indicate that an appropriate combination of spring, Coulomb friction and viscous damper is able to achieve an optimal seismic performance. The stiffness and natural period of system are significantly influenced by the friction action. Both the friction action and the viscous damping action can dissipate earthquake energy, and the optimal value of one depends on the value of the other in the seismic isolation system. All of the values of spring, Coulomb friction and viscous damper should be accurately evaluated before the design of seismic isolation system.
期刊介绍:
The Earthquakes and Structures, An International Journal, focuses on the effects of earthquakes on civil engineering structures. The journal will serve as a powerful repository of technical information and will provide a highimpact publication platform for the global community of researchers in the traditional, as well as emerging, subdisciplines of the broader earthquake engineering field. Specifically, some of the major topics covered by the Journal include: .. characterization of strong ground motions, .. quantification of earthquake demand and structural capacity, .. design of earthquake resistant structures and foundations, .. experimental and computational methods, .. seismic regulations and building codes, .. seismic hazard assessment, .. seismic risk mitigation, .. site effects and soil-structure interaction, .. assessment, repair and strengthening of existing structures, including historic structures and monuments, and .. emerging technologies including passive control technologies, structural monitoring systems, and cyberinfrastructure tools for seismic data management, experimental applications, early warning and response
