Numerical Study to Investigate the Effect of Elastomeric Snubber Properties on Seismic Response of Vibration-Isolated Nonstructural Components

To investigate the effect of elastomeric snubber properties on the seismic response of vibration-isolated nonstructural components, a numerical study is conducted on six different vibration-isolated nonstructural components mounted on the roof of six different buildings located in areas with different levels of seismicity. The dynamic model used for the numerical study considers the effects of thickness and hardening of elastomeric snubbers. …
