Abstract:
Un-bonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator (U-FREI) is light weight and facilitates easier installation in comparison to conventional steel reinforced elastomeric isolators (SREI), in which fiber layers are used as reinforcement to replace steel shims as are normally used in conventional isolators. Shear modulus of elastomer has significant influence on the force-displacement relationship of U-FREI. However, a few studies investigated the effect of shear modulus on the horizontal behavior of prototype U-FREI in literature. In this study, effect of shear modulus on performance of prototype U-FREIs is investigated by both experiment and finite element (FE) analysis. It is observed that reduction in horizontal stiffness of U-FREI with increasing horizontal displacement is due to both rollover deformation (or reduction in contact area of isolator with supports) and shear modulus of elastomer. Reasonable agreement is observed between the findings from experiment and FE analysis. Keywords: base isolator; prototype un-bonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator; rollover deformation; shear modulus; cyclic test.

Abstract:
Steel reinforced elastomeric isolators are currently the most used bearings for seismic isolation purposes. The steel reinforcements are cut to the desired shape, sandblasted, cleaned with acid, and coated with bonding compound during the manufacturing process. Then the elastomer and steel layers are stacked in a mold and subjected to vulcanization so that they are glued together and constitute a single body. Good adhesion between the layers is very important for the correct functioning of the device. Adhesion conditions become critical when the isolators are subjected to tensile stresses, which arise under direct tensile actions or large shear strains. To analyze the influence of changes in the manufacturing process on the isolator adhesive behavior, the authors performed tensile tests on square-shaped small-scale specimens rather than expensive shear tests on full-scale isolators. Hence, the adhesion behavior between elastomer and steel layers was investigated through the tensile tests discussed herein. Among the influencing parameters that were considered, it was found that an increase in vulcanization time does not improve the adhesion, but it may actually worsen the capacity of the isolator in terms of strength. Moreover, it was found that using elastomer without an oily component improves the adhesion between the layers and increases the isolator’s dissipative capacity.

Abstract:
The theoretical analysis for the buckling of isolators is well known and has generally been verified by experimental work, but there are some aspects of the analysis that have not been addressed in detail. This paper will study two examples, first the effect of end plate rotation on the buckling load and, secondly, the buckling of an isolator that is made up of two bearings, one on the top of the others. The effect of end plate rotation on the buckling load arises in situations where the stiffness of the superstructure is not high enough to ensure that the isolator is constrained against rotation at the top; this is often the case when retrofitting existing structures. The influence of the flexibility of the superstructure on the horizontal stiffness of the isolator and the reduction of the critical load due to this flexibility is evaluated in the paper. The results show a significant reduction of the critical load. The second analysis presented in the paper models the buckling of a composite isolator that is made up of two bearings, one on top of the other. Two approaches for evaluating the critical load of this composite isolator are discussed, and an approximate method is developed that provides results close to the complete solution.

Abstract:
The elastomeric diaphragm is widely used in pneumatic vibration isolators, and the relevant model is often ignored due to its complexity. Considering that the ignored model of the elastomeric diaphragm in pneumatic vibration isolators plays an important role in the discrepancy between the predicted and practical behavior, this paper develops an analytical model for the elastomeric diaphragm using the Mooney-Rivlin modeling method and elastomeric theory. Specifically, the elastomeric diaphragm consists of several segments in the axial section. After considering the structural restriction, each segment can be simplified as uniaxial stretching, and the force-strain equation can be established for each segment. By combining the equations of all segments, an analytical model of the elastomeric diaphragm can be built and solved via numerical methods. The developed model is added to the standard model of pneumatic cylinders to supply a complete analytical model for pneumatic vibration isolators. The experimental results demonstrate that the analytically predicted behavior is similar to the practical behavior. The proposed analytical model can be used as a guide for the parameter design of pneumatic isolators in practice.

Abstract:
The article presents the studies of the elastomeric isolator performance under static loads. The solutions of the problems have been obtained by means of a specialized software complex by direct integration of the motion equations according to the implicit scheme. For calculation of the elastomeric isolator, a 3D computational model comprised by solid finite elements has been used. Based on the results of the studies performed, the diagrams for displacement of the points of the top of the support have been plotted with the horizontal shear of the support. The possibility of formation of tilting in the upper plate of the elastomeric isolator has been proved. The diagram of residual horizontal displacements of the support after the horizontal load removal has been obtained. The inability of elastomeric isolators to return independently to the initial equilibrium position without additional devices has been proved.

In this thesis, a process is developed for designing elastomeric vibration isolators in order to provide vibration isolation for sensitive equipment being used in ROKETSAN A.S.&rsquo
s products. For this purpose, first of all, similar isolators are examined in the market. After that, appropriate elastomeric materials are selected and their temperature and frequency dependent dynamic properties are experimentally obtained. Parametric finite element model of the isolator is then constituted in ANSYS APDL using the properties of elastomeric materials and the conceptual design of the isolator. Then, according to design requirements, final design parameters of the vibration isolator are determined at the end of design iterations. In the next step, vibration isolator that was designed is manufactured using the elastomeric material chosen, by a local rubber company. Finally, design process is verified by comparing analysis and test results.

Abstract:
Among different types of earthquake protective mechanisms, elastomeric base isolators, also called rubber bearings (RBs), are one of the most well-known systems that are widely used in buildings and bridges. They can regulate the seismic response of structures, increase the public safety, and reduce the cost of repair and rehabilitation by providing lateral flexibility and dissipating the earthquake’s energy. RBs consist of elastomeric layers which are reinforced with steel shims or fibre-reinforced polymer composites. Seeking performance improvements, as well as cost and weight reduction led scientists to introduce different types of RBs. However, most RBs possess weaknesses such as limited shear strain capacity, un-recovered residual deformation, and instability due to large deformations. Using superelastic (ability to regain original shape upon unloading) shape memory alloy (SMA) in the form of wire, bar, or spring is a solution to partially overcome the aforementioned limitations. Its unique characteristics such as a flag-shaped hysteresis with zero residual deformation, superelastic effect (up to 13.5% recoverable strain) and a suitable fatigue property make it an ideal candidate for such applications. Objectives of this thesis are to propose a new generation SMA wire-based RBs (SMA-RB) and develop a novel constitutive model for such smart isolators in order to accurately capture their shear hysteretic behaviour. With the purpose of evaluating the performance of SMA-RBs in structural applications, the seismic fragility of a highway bridge isolated by SMA-RBs was assessed. First, a number of scaled carbon fibre-reinforced elastomeric isolators (C-FREIs) were manufactured and tested. Then, based on the experimental observations, numerical simulations were generated using finite element method (FEM). Results showed that incorporating SMA wires into natural and high-damping rubber bearings (NRB, HDRB) slightly improves the re-centring capability and energy dissipation capacity. However, equipping lead rubber bearing (LRB) with double cross SMA wires significantly reduces the residual deformation and noticeably enhances the energy damping property. It was also depicted that the developed hysteresis of SMA model can be characterized by three stiffnesses and two shear strain limits upon activation of SMA wires. Findings revealed that SMA wires can increase the reliability of elastomeric bearings and bridge system.

Abstract:
This research undertakes the task of static and dynamic characterization for a squeeze mode Magneto-Rheological (MR) Fluid-Elastic mount. MR fluidâ s variable viscosity rate is advantageously used to develop a mount capable of mitigating input vibrations of varying magnitudes and frequencies depending on electromagnetic flux. Various mechanical components are synthesized into a dynamic testing rig in order to extract vibrational characteristics of the mount and to compare it with existing mount technologies. This project focuses on a mount design that was proposed and improved upon by previous researchers at the Center for Vehicle Systems and Safety (CVeSS). Using a previously designed electromagnet and test rig, the MR mounts are characterized using a quasi-static test. From this test we extract the stiffness and damping characteristics of the MR mount. A set of upper and lower limit baseline mounts made with rubber and steel inserts are also tested simultaneously with the MR mount. Their isolation improvements are compared with conventional passive mounts. After acquiring the stiffness and damping characteristics of the mount, a model is used to simulate a response to input vibrations in the frequency domain. A dynamic test is run on both the baseline testers as well as the MR mount. Having the frequency-magnitude response allows us to determine a usable resonance range and magnitude of vibration mitigation. The results of this study indicate that the mounts tested here are an effective means of suppressing start-up vibrations within mechanical systems and show promise for further development and application. Future studies of these systems can include tests of MR metal-elastic mount designs for durability as well as parametric studies based on MR fluid type and other factors.

Abstract:
Il presente lavoro di tesi riguarda lo studio dell’adeguamento sismico di ponti esistenti a travata continua. La prima parte (Parte A) affronta lo studio dello schema di vincolo tradizionale (non adeguato) dei ponti esistenti per poi formulare, a partire da questo, soluzioni di adeguamento con l’utilizzo di dispositivi di protezione sismica in commercio. La seconda parte (Parte B), invece, verte sull'applicazione di specifiche soluzioni di adeguamento, al Caso Studio oggetto del progetto di ricerca “Contributi normativi relativi a Isolamento e Dissipazione” della Reluis. È stato dunque studiato il Caso Studio con diverse soluzioni di vincolo le quali prevedono sia l’utilizzo di soli smorzatori fluido-viscosi sia l’utilizzo congiunto di isolatori elastomerici con i suddetti smorzatori. Le analisi sono state svolte sia con modelli FEM sia con modelli semplificati implementati nel software Matlab. Il presente lavoro è volto a perseguire due macro obiettivi: nella Parte A, a valle della ricerca delle soluzioni di adeguamento sismico attualmente a disposizione, si cerca di fornire ai progettisti, per ogni soluzione di adeguamento trattata, dei modelli semplificati a pochi gradi di libertà (sistemi minimi) rappresentativi, sotto determinate ipotesi, del comportamento dell’impalcato, con lo scopo di creare un supporto ordinato e di facile applicazione progettuale di interventi di miglioramento/adeguamento su ponti esistenti ma utili anche per progettazione ex novo; nella Parte B, applicando al caso studio due particolari soluzioni trattate nella prima parte, si confrontano i risultati fornendo per questo caso studio specifico le soluzioni migliori dal punto di vista di salvaguardia delle sottostrutture, inoltre si cerca di fornire una procedura per la progettazione semplificata per il dimensionamento degli isolatori, accoppiati con gli smorzatori, atta ad ottenere le caratteristiche meccaniche e geometriche da inserire poi nel programma di calcolo utilizzato.

Abstract:
Abstract Elastomeric isolators are typically used as connectors between the body-side and exhaust-side hangers to modulate the vibrational excitation input from the exhaust system into the vehicle underbody, Fig. 1. The dynamic response of these isolators must be properly tuned to avoid any interior cavity boom or structural vibration transmission. This paper studies the effect of elastomeric properties of the isolator material on the dynamic response of the exhaust system and the transmitted force response. A simplified geometry for an exhaust system is considered. The solution procedure developed may be used for an arbitrary number of isolators. In order to separate the coupling effect of multiple isolators, the effect of a single isolator is studied in detail. The problem solution is developed for a generic functional form for the dynamic stiffness of the isolator. The resulting system of equations leads to a nonlinear transcendental equation for an eigenvalue problem. Based on the available experimental data for typical isolators a functional form of dynamic stiffness is considered. The resulting solution reveals the influence of the elastomeric isolators on the dynamic characteristics of a typical exhaust system. Further, the frequency response of the force transmitted is also obtained. This procedure may be used to either predict the effect of a particular isolator for varying ambient conditions (temperature, preload, vibration amplitude) and/or may be used to tune the properties of an isolator to best suit a particular application.

Dynamic stiffness and damping rates of elastomeric vibration isolators used in automotive vehicles are identified from static isolator tests and the use of an isolator finite element model. Comparisons are made of the predicted versus measured dynamic stiffness and damping rates from 0 to 300 Hz of a rear suspension isolator to validate the technique. The identified dynamic rates of the elastomeric isolators of a representative vehicle are then input to the vehicle system finite-element model to compare the predicted versus measured vehicle vibration and interior noise response for laboratory shaker excitation.

Full text
Abstract:
Models of vibration isolators are very commonly used for the design and analysis of isolation systems. Accurate isolator modeling is critical for a successful prediction of the dynamic characteristics of isolated systems. Isolators exhibit a complex behavior that depends on multiple parameters such as frequency, displacement amplitude, temperature and loading conditions. Therefore, it is important to choose a model that is accurate while adequately representing the relationships with relevant parameters. Recent literature has indicated some inherent advantages of fractional derivatives that can be exploited in the modeling of elastomeric isolators. Furthermore, time delay of damping is also seen to provide a realistic representation of damping. This paper examines the Maxwell-Voigt model with fractional damping and a time delay. This model is compared with the conventional Maxwell-Voigt model (without time delay or fractional damping) and the Voigt model in order to comprehend the influence of fractional damping and time delay on dynamic characteristics. Multiple simulations are performed after identifying model parameters from the data collected for a passive elastomeric isolator. The analysis results are compared and it is observed that the Voigt model is highly sensitive to fractional damping as well as time delay.

Abstract:
Base isolation technologies have been proven to be very efficient in protecting structures from seismic hazards during experimental and theoretical studies. In recent years, there have been more and more engineering applications using base isolators to upgrade the seismic resistibility of structures. Optimum design of the base isolator can lessen the undesirable seismic hazard with the most efficiency. Hence, tracing the nonlinear behavior of the base isolator with good accuracy is important in the engineering profession. In order to predict the nonlinear behavior of base isolated structures precisely, hundreds even thousands of degrees-of-freedom and iterative algorithm are required for nonlinear time history analysis. In view of this, a simple and feasible exact formulation without any iteration has been proposed in this study to calculate the seismic responses of structures with base isolators. Comparison between the experimental results from shaking table tests conducted at National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering in Taiwan and the analytical results show that the proposed method can accurately simulate the seismic behavior of base isolated structures with elastomeric bearings. Hence, the proposed concept can be used as a reliable tool for engineering professions for preliminary design.

This paper presents a multi-degree-of-freedom model for the analysis of mechanical snubbing in elastomeric isolators. The model uses a system of elastomeric isolators and snubbers to assemble a rigid body with three degrees-of-freedom to a rigid frame. The isolators are supplemented by the snubbing system so as to limit the displacement of the rigid body in all three directions of motion when the system undergoes transient loading or overloading conditions. The model is piecewise non-linear and uses normalized Bouc-Wen elements in order to capture inherent hysteresis of the elastomeric isolators and the snubbing system as well as the transition in stiffness and damping properties resulting due to inherent coupling between the isolators and the snubbing system. Separate elements are used to model the enhanced stiffness resulting from the snubbing system in the translational directions of motion. A set of elastomeric isolators and snubbing systems is used for data collection, characterization and model validation. The data collection is carried out at multiple strain amplitudes and strain rates. A conventional least squares based parameter identification technique is used for characterization. The completely characterized model is then used for simulating the response of the rigid body and the simulation results are compared to experimental data. The simulation results are found to be in general agreement with the experimental data.

Abstract:
Passive vibration isolators are extensively used in wide ranging applications such as automotive, aerospace, railroad and earth moving equipment in the mechanical industry, and in structural applications in the civil industry. These isolators serve as spring-damper units that isolate specific parts of a system from external dynamic loading, or from other sub-systems that cause vibration excitation. Passive isolators exhibit very complex behavior that depends on excitation frequency, displacement amplitude, ambient temperature and pre-load in addition to geometry, design features as well as material composition of the isolator. Various models are prevalent in the existing literature for the design and analysis of such isolators, ranging from the basic Voigt model to more complex models such as the Maxwell-Voigt model with multiple Maxwell elements, the Maxwell ladder model, the three dimensional viscoelastic model, the fractional derivative model, and models specifically used for capturing the hysteresis behavior or the displacement limiting behavior. However, each of these models is successful in representing certain characteristics of the isolator while being unable to capture other key attributes. This paper provides a comparative study of some of the main models that are commonly used for the design and analysis of passive vibration isolators. Experimental data collected from a passive elastomeric isolator under varying excitation conditions is used to identify parameters associated with some of the commonly used models. The analysis results are compared and specific highlights and shortcomings of each model are identified and discussed.

Abstract:
In recent years, there have been more and more engineering applications of the base isolation to enhance the seismic resistibility of the existing structures. The elastomeric base isolator and the sliding base isolator are the most popular types in the engineering applications. In this paper, the experimental results for the component test of the full scale multiple friction pendulum system (MFPS) have been introduced. The MFPS base isolator is a base isolator which possesses characteristics of the elastomeric and sliding type base isolators. The effectiveness of the device in reducing the seismic response of structures during earthquakes has been confirmed from the experimental results of the shaking table tests. In order to test the mechanical behavior of a full scale MFPS base isolator, the component tests of the device subjected axial loads of 500 tons, 900 tons and horizontally cyclic loadings have been executed. The experimental results show that the MFPS base isolator has a very stable mechanical behavior under many cycles of loadings. Hence, the durability of the MFPS base isolator can be proved from these experimental results.

Abstract:
This paper describes the SILER (Seismic-Initiated event risk mitigation in LEad-cooled Reactors) Project results obtained so far in the design of the seismic isolation system of two nuclear power plants: the ELSY configuration for the LFR (Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor) design and the MYRRHA configuration for the accelerator-driven systems (ADS). The seismic protection of the nuclear buildings by means of seismic isolation has been chosen in order to minimize changes to the standard design of the civil works and internal components of the Nuclear Power Plant. The work led to the identification of the optimal design solution, in terms of type and location of seismic devices, to achieve compliance to the floor response acceleration spectra in horizontal and vertical direction, with levels of horizontal displacements not exceeding the maximum acceptable values for structural and non-structural elements. The isolators studied in the project are of the type elastomeric, both High Damping Rubber Bearings and Lead Rubber Bearings; moreover the adoption of a fail-safe system to limit the horizontal isolator deformation in case of beyond design earthquakes is studied.
