Vertical response of unbonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators (U-FREIs) under bidirectional shear loading
Fiber Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators (FREIs) were generally studied in unbonded configuration. Due to combined axial and shear loads, the contact area between the bearing and horizontal supports reduces with the horizontal displacement. As a result, both the vertical and the horizontal stiffnesses...
