EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL STUDY ON ULTIMATE PROPERTY OF RUBBER BEARINGS (PART 4): EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON VARIOUS PROPERTIES OF HIGH-DAMPING RUBBER BEARINGS WITH FLARE-LIKE STRUCTURE AND COMPARISON WITH THEORETICAL EQUATION AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

Abstract

In the previous study, authors proposed new flare-like structure for the purpose of improving buckling property and evaluated the ultimate properties of high-damping rubber bearings with proposed structure theoretically and analytically. In this study, various properties of high-damping rubber bearings with proposed structure were evaluated experimentally. In addition, by comparing with the experimental results, validity of theoretical equation and analysis model proposed in previous study were evaluated.
