CYCLIC LOADING EXPERIMENT ON LEAD RUBBER BEARING WITH LARGE DIAMETER LEAD PLUG

the effect of characteristic strength on seismic beharior with lead rubber bearing

conventional methods for seismic design of structures are based on building capacity. because of the disadvantages of conventional methods, base isolation system  is known as an effective solution to protect structures against earthquakes. in this study the operation of 2-storey steel frame with and without seismic isolators under near-fault earthquake of chichi، northridge and  capemendocine  ...

Adaptive fuzzy control for earthquake-excited buildings with lead rubber bearing isolation

This study examines the feasibility of applying adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC) strategies to reduce the dynamic responses of buildings constructed using a lead rubber bearing (LRB) isolation hybrid protective system. Recently developed control devices for civil engineering structures, including hybrid systems and semi-active systems, have been found to have inherent nonlinear prope...

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead failure in children and young adults: a matter of lead diameter or lead design?

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the impact of lead diameter and design on implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead survival in children and young adults. BACKGROUND Recent reports have called attention to high rates of lead failure in adults with small-diameter ICD leads, but data in the pediatric population is limited. METHODS We reviewed lead performance in consecutive...
