Sentence examples for isolation devices from inspiring English sources

Under NF ground motion, the seismic isolation devices might perform poorly because of large isolator displacements caused by long-period large velocity and displacement pulses associated with such strong motion.

By evaluating the earthquake intensity required to achieve specified damage states of base-isolated bridges, the optimum combinations of mechanical parameters of isolation devices are identified as a function of structural properties and damage states.

The study shows that the mechanical properties of isolation devices have a significant effect on the damage probability of isolated bridges.

This paper adopts the performance-based evaluation approach to investigate the effectiveness and optimum design parameters of isolation devices so as to minimize the overall damaging potential of seismically-isolated bridges.

The isolation devices are essentially giant rubber-and-steel pads that are installed at the very bottom of the excavation for a building, which then simply sits on top of the pads.

High-rise buildings have been increasingly constructed with vibration control devices or vibration isolation devices.

Therefore, the role of the base isolation device isolating the superstructure from the ground motion does not perform properly, which causes amplification of the floor response of the superstructure.

One illustration utilizes the second example, where relative motion between a model structure and a shaking table is measured by digitally processing the analogue image provided by a video tape recorded during a shaking table test of a model structure base isolated by a hybrid isolation device consisting of friction and elastomeric components.

In an animal model of focal cerebral ischemia, cells isolated with the HuriCell isolation device showed neuroprotective effects in ischemic brain injury [ 117].

In order to quantify the effects of SSI, the peak responses of isolated and non-isolated bridge (i.e. bridge without isolation device) are compared with the corresponding bridge ignoring these effects.

Furthermore, an integrated isolation device is proposed that consists of the periodic isolator and a dynamic absorber, and its isolation performance is investigated.
