A STUDY OF ANALYSIS METHOD AND PERFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURE FOR HIGH DAMPING RUBBER BEARING BASED ON VARIOUS DEPENDENCY EVALUATION

Abstract

The horizontal characteristics of high damping rubber bearing, which is usually substituted as non-linear corrected bi-linear model for dynamic analysis, was expressed as a simple bi-linear model. The parameters were carefully determined according to the various test results of dependency characteristics such as, load history, strain level, face pressure and frequency. Dynamic analysis was carried out with proposed numerical model and verified. Additionally, performance test procedure was proposed and an example of application was introduced.
