Base isolation techniques have emerged as the most effective seismic damage mitigation
strategies. Several types of aseismic devices for base isolation have been invented, studied …

To improve the seismic performance of bridges, this study develops a novel superelastic
conical friction pendulum isolator (SCFPI) by incorporating an improved conical friction …

The overlap between high-speed railways and earthquake areas makes it necessary to
implement isolation design for railway bridges. At present, the variation of seismic energy of …

The sliding bearing is an important component in machines. The characteristics of the oil film
fluid of the sliding bearing is the key factor affecting lubrication, which will affect the wear …

Seismic isolation has become a widely accepted method for the protection of structures and
nonstructural components. However, this control strategy is unfavorable against near‐fault …

The performance of the marine sliding bearing affects the reliability of marine engineering
directly. Nevertheless, sliding bearings are subjected to frictional forces and problems, such …
