Sentence examples for isolated structure from inspiring English sources
The active control forces are intended to alleviate the isolator's inner pounding through reducing the velocity of the isolated structure before the activation of the isolator's self-stopping mechanism.
Increasing the isolator hysteretic damping slightly reduces the peak accelerations of the isolated structure.
From this table, the following conclusions could be drawn: 1. Increasing the isolator hysteretic damping slightly reduces the peak accelerations of the isolated structure.
The seismic and dynamic response of the considered base isolated structure is illustrated and a comparative analysis is finally presented between the base isolated structure with the three considered base isolation systems and the fixed base structure.
Jangid (1996) studied the seismic response of one storey, one-way asymmetric base isolated structure.
Kittl et al. (2014) in the present study the ALL is investigated as an isolated structure.
The aim of the study consists in evaluating the seismic reliability of a base-isolated structure with FP isolators considering both isolator properties (i.e., coefficient of friction) and earthquake main characteristics as random variables.
This percentage is expressed as: % = ( x ¨ fixed - base ) - ( x ¨ RNC - isolated ) ( x ¨ fixed - base ) × 100 (12)where x ¨ fixed - base is the peak acceleration of fixed-base structure and x ¨ RNC - isolated is the peak acceleration of RNC-isolated structure.
The designed RNC-isolated structure has an isolation period of 3.0 s. Figure 19a shows the peak pounding forces between the RNC-isolated structure and the adjacent rigid structure, in X and Y directions, before activating the buffer mechanism of the RNC isolator.
The peak absolute structural accelerations of the RNC-isolated structure, with buffer activated, is compared to those of the fixed-base same structure.
Such set of NF earthquakes is used solely in "Pounding of RNC-isolated structures with adjacent rigid structures" with the aim of producing the maximum possible structural drift and structural displacement at the topmost floor of the RNC-isolated structure.
