Seismic Vibration Control of Building with Lead Rubber Bearing Isolator

Kalpa Publications in Civil Engineering, 2018
During the life span of structure there may be an effect of vibration. Due to vibration there may be major or minor damage in building. Base isolation is best method to reduce the seismic response of the structure. This paper gives idea about base isolation system which can be used in multi-story building to reduce seismic response of the structure ...

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Stochastic response of building frames isolated by lead-rubber bearings

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, 2010
Stochastic response of buildings isolated by lead–rubber bearings (LRB) is investigated. The earthquake excitation is modelled by non-stationary random process (i.e. uniformly modulated broadband excitation). The stochastic response of isolated building frames is obtained using the time-dependent equivalent linearization technique as the force ...
