Theory and experimental study for sliding isolators with variable curvature.

Because a conventional isolation system with constant isolation frequency is usually a long-period dynamic system, its seismic response is likely to be amplified in earthquakes with strong long-period wave components, such as near-fault ground motions. Seismic isolators with variable mechanical prop...
