Effect of viscous, viscoplastic and friction damping on the response of seismic isolated structures.

In this paper the efficiency of various dissipative mechanisms to protect structures from pulse type and near source ground motions is examined. Physically realizable cycloidal pulses are introduced, and their resemblance to recorded near source ground motions is illustrated. The study uncovers the...
