Abstract: A mathematical model of high-damping rubber materials is developed. First the material experiments necessary for modeling are systematically conducted. Then, on the basis of the results of the material experiments, a ...

Abstract: Mathematical models of laminated rubber bearings under multiaxial loading are proposed on the basis of the experimental data in the accompanying paper. First, a one-dimensional model of the bearings is proposed. In this ...

Abstract: Cyclic behaviors of three types of laminated rubber bearings under multiaxial loading state are studied. First, the characteristics of the restoring forces of these bearings in small amplitude are investigated. The ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional finite element modeling of high damping rubber bearings is studied. At first, the constitutive model of high damping rubber materials proposed by the writers is formulated in order to derive the ...

Abstract: In this study, the measurement system for continua using the image processing technique is developed. At first, a correlation-based template that matches an Eulerian coordinate system is extended to trace the motion of ...

Abstract: Identification of system parameters from seismic accelerations recorded on a base-isolated bridge provides an excellent opportunity to examine the performance of various components of such bridge systems. This study proposes ...
