  • Seismic protection of flexible rotating machines using base isolators

    Creator:
    Su, Wen-Chyi
    Abstract:
    Base isolation is an alternative seismic design strategy in which the primary structures and their internal components are uncoupled from the potentially damaging horizontal components of an earthquake by base isolators which attenuate the transmission of horizontal acceleration into the system. Rotating machines are among the key internal components of...

  • Dynamic response of flexible rotating machines subjected to ground motions

    Creator:
    Su, Wen-Chyi
    Abstract:
    Rotating machine play an important role in modern technology. Compressors in ventilating and cooling systems, pumps in power generation facilities, as well as high speed computer are all examples of flexible rotating machinery that must remain functional during and after a sever earthquake. Recent earthquakes have demonstrated that an aseismically...
