Study on mechanical properties of laminated rubber bearing with small shape factor

  • 1. Kyushu Univ., Fukuoka (Japan)
  • 2. Central Research Inst. of Electric Power Industry, Chiba (Japan)

Description

Laminated rubber bearings with a small shape factor are regarded as one of the most promising isolation devices to reduce the vertical seismic load of a nuclear power plant. In this study, three types of natural rubber bearings with different aspect ratios (diameter/total thickness of rubber) and one high-damping rubber bearing are tested under varied loading conditions. Basic characteristics and ultimate characteristics of the bearings are made clear, and applicability of estimation formula and analysis method are verified
