Vertical Isolation Research of Rubber Bearing in Series with Disk Spring

Abstract:

The isolation of horizontal ground motion is usually considered in the base isolation. However, the influence of vertical ground motion is not enough considered. The rubber isolation bearings install in series disk spring. The isolation layer parameters and the corresponding mechanical model are proposed. The vertical isolation effect of the new system is remarkable by analyzing example.
