Study on the Vibration Isolation Performance of Sliding–Rolling Friction Composite Vibration Isolation Bearing

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating the newly proposed sliding–rolling friction composite seismic isolation bearing. It begins by establishing the dynamic equilibrium equation for the structure. Subsequently, this paper proposes a calculation model for the sliding–rolling friction composite seismic isolation bearing, integrating fundamental theories of structural dynamic response analysis and numerical solution methods. Utilizing finite element analysis software ABAQUS (2021), the mechanical properties of the seismic isolation bearing are comprehensively assessed. Through this evaluation, the optimal parameters of the seismic isolation bearing are determined. The findings reveal that the optimal parameters include a friction coefficient (μ) of 0.04, four U-type dampers at 45° angles, a width of 60 mm, five balls, and two shims.
