The historical development and practical implementation of structural base isolation systems
that work on the principle of friction are discussed in the light of analytical, numerical, and …

Liquid storage tanks are the lifeline and critical structures for strategic industries including
petrochemical and aerospace industries, refineries, hospitals, water supply and storage …

Many self-propelled objects are large enough to exhibit inertial effects but still suffer from
environmental fluctuations. The corresponding basic equations of motion are governed by …

The seismic response of a multi‐span continuous bridge isolated with novel superelastic‐
friction base isolator (S‐FBI) is investigated under near‐field earthquakes. The isolation …

Large-scale liquid storage tanks are used worldwide for storing water, chemicals and fuels,
such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil. Any major damage due to man-made or natural …

A common effective method to reduce the seismic response of liquid storage tanks is to
isolate them at base using base-isolation systems. It has been observed that in many …

The seismic isolation of ground-supported cylindrical liquid storage tank using the newly
developed oblate spheroid base isolation (OSBI) system is investigated. The OSBI is an …

Curved surface sliding bearings, which are usually called as friction pendulum system (FPS)
are commonly used for base isolation of liquid storage tanks since the period of the isolation …

A numerical study of the base-isolated ground-supported cylindrical liquid storage tank is
carried out using finite element method (FEM). The coupled acoustic-structural (CAS) …

Because a conventional isolation system with constant isolation frequency is usually a long‐
period dynamic system, its seismic response is likely to be amplified in earthquakes with …
