Experimental Study on Smart Sloped Rolling-type Bearings Integrated with Early Prediction of Peak Velocity

The use of sloped rolling-type bearings (SRBs) to protect critical equipment from seismic damage has been widely adopted. However, maintaining SRB displacement responses within safe limits often requires a large damping force, which results in unacceptable accelerations. This highlights the trade-off in seismic isolati...
