Abstract

Viscoelastic properties of polymer materials used in earthquake insulation are described through creep and relaxation. A special section is consecrated to dynamic viscoelastic properties. Viscoelastic dampers are presented as an example of the use of viscoelastic properties in seismic devices. The damping quantity is determined through dynamic testing of elastomeric bearings used in seismic insulation.

Keywords

viscoelasticity; creep; relaxation; seismic insulation; viscoelastic damper; elastomeric bearing; damping quantity
