Abstract: The lead high-damping rubber (LHDR) bearing is one of the efficient rubber bearings with excellent energy-dissipation capacity. Similar to high-damping rubber (HDR) bearings and lead rubber (LR) bearings, the hysteretic ...

Abstract: High-damping rubber (HDR) bearings exhibit obvious initial stress hardening at lower ambient temperatures and stress softening under cyclic loading. The phenomenon of stress softening is usually referred to as the Mullins ...
