New Equivalent Linear Impact Model for Simulation of Seismic Isolated Structure Pounding against Moat Wall by Yang Liu, Wen-Guang Liu, Xin Wang, Wen-Fu He, Qiao-Rong Yang

“…Based on equating energy dissipation and maximum collision compression deformation of isolated structure with the Hertz-damp model and Kevin-Voigt model in the process of collision, an equivalent linear impact model (ELIM) is proposed to better predict impact response of seismic isolated structure. The formula of the equivalent linear stiffness of ELIM is theoretically derived. …”
