Rubber bearings in base-isolated structures

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1991
The paper discusses the use of rubber bearings in base isolated structures. In Japan alone there are likely to be 100 base-isolated buildings completed by the end of 1994 all of which will be on rubber bearings [Ref 1.2]. A distinction is drawn between the use of rubber bearings in bridges where they are subject to both the fatigue of traffic loading ...

Chiral Morphing of Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper reviews how macroscopic chirality spontaneously arises from liquid crystal polymer materials. It describes how alignment is utilized to create the mechanical anisotropy, geometric misorientation and asymmetry that leads to chiral shape morphing, how shape selection between helicoids and helices arises, the techniques used to prepare these ...

Dynamic tests on laminated rubber bearings

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1977
Simulated dynamic tests in shear on laminated rubber bearings are described. The purpose of the tests was to check the performance of the bearings when used as mounts for base isolating buildings against earthquake attack. Over 1,000 cycles were applied to the bearings, mostly at
 50% shear strain at a frequency in the range 0.2 to 0.9Hz.
