Mechanism Analysis and Parameter Optimization of Mega-Sub-Isolation System by Xiangxiu Li, Ping Tan, Xiaojun Li, Aiwen Liu

“…Results show that, with increase in substructure mass, the working mechanism of the mega-sub-isolation system is changed from tuned vibration absorber and energy dissipation to seismic isolation. The locations of the isolated substructures have little influence on the optimal frequency ratio but have great influence on the optimal damping ratio, while the number of isolated substructures shows great impact on both the optimal frequency ratio and damping ratio. …”
