Analysis of the Anti-Seismic Passive Isolation System Based on the Virtual Prototyping

Abstract

This work propose a new onset for dynamic behaviour analysis of the passive anti-seismic and/or anti-vibrational elastic elements and systems. The basics of this new approach are constituted by the virtual prototyping techniques, which consisted by a deep interaction between the different software packages dedicated to separated analysis domains, like stress & strain analysis, kinetical links analysis, dynamic analysis, numerical computing, a.s.o. Nearby of these softwares, is necessary to use a different types of models (physical, mathematical, numerical), which simulate less or more precisely, the real nature of the considered system. In this paper is proposed a new type of passive elastic element, that are analysed from a point of view of isolation performances.
