Time domain identification of hybrid base isolation systems using free vibration tests.

A procedure for the dynamic identification of the physical parameters of coupled base isolation systems is developed in the time domain. The isolation systems considered include high damping rubber bearings (HDRB) and low friction sliding bearings (LFSB). A bi-linear hysteretic model is used alone o...
