About this document
Mechanical Model for Elastomeric Bearings by nishantgssh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document presents a simple mechanical model for elastomeric bearings used in base isolation, emphasizing the significance of weak shear rigidity and the P-A effect in their analysis. The proposed model effectively accounts for both shear and flexural deformations, demonstrating good agreement with exact models in static and dynamic scenarios. Experimental validation shows the model accurately describes the dynamic stiffness, damping factor, and height reduction of elastomeric bearings under axial loads.
