22-19 SISTEME INOVATIVE DE IZOLARE SEISMICĂ BAZATE PE DISIPAREA ENERGIEI PRIN FRECARE. ANALIZA STATICĂ


Friction pendulums are used to reduce forces transmitted from the
ground to buildings, in order to diminish or avoid earthquakes loss, by
permitting relative displacements between the isolated structure and earth
during seismic actions. The result consists in reduced accelerations and
consequently reduced inertia forces. In this paper we present a new approach
regarding implementation of a friction pendulum having the sliding surface
profile based on a polynomial function of superior order. The new device
implies the use of an elastic element between the slider and the sliding surface.
Static and dynamic analyses performed using the finite element method
confirmed that the use of an elastomeric element is suitable for this purpose.
