Modeling strength degradation in lead?rubber bearings under earthquake shaking.

Lead?rubber bearings are seismic isolators that have been used extensively to protect buildings, bridges and mission-critical infrastructure from the damaging effects of earthquake shaking. Under large-displacement cyclic motion, the strength of a lead?rubber bearing reduces due to energy dissipatio...
