Response of equipment in resilient-friction base isolated structures subjected to ground motion

Creator:

Lei, Kai-ming

Abstract:

The response of lightweight equipment in structures supported on resilient-friction-base isolators (R-FBI) subjected to harmonic ground motion and various earthquake ground motions is examined. The equipment-structure base system is modeled as a three degree-of-freedom discrete system (SDOF subsystems). An efficient semi-analytical numerical solution procedure for the determination of equipment response...

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...
