The increased availability and fidelity of broadband seismic instruments have played a key role in bridging the gap between exploration and global seismic applications. Long gone are the days when global structure mapping and source characterization/monitoring relied on the manual digitization of WWSSN (World-Wide Standard Seismographic Network) analogue records or hours in front of microfiche ...

Harnessing the concept of inertial amplification, an amplifier coupled base isolator (IABI) is proposed in this paper. The seismic performance, terms story drift, shear reduction, has been compared with that classical (CBI) and inerter-based isolation system (Inerter-BI). A thorough analytical study, implementing rationals random vibration for harmonic Gaussian white noise conducted to identify...

The aim of this paper is to assess the effectiveness nonlinear viscoelastic damping in controlling base-excited vibrations. Specifically, focus on investigating robustness base isolation performance system response due a wide set possible excitation spectra. dynamic model derived study simple structure whose provided via Rubber-Layer Roller Bearing (RLRB) (rigid cylinders rolling rigid plates w...
