Frictional Response of PTFE Sliding Bearings at High Frequencies
Abstract
Dynamic tests were done on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sliding bridge bearings to evaluate their frictional characteristics at frequencies above 1 Hz. High frequency seismic responses of PTFE bearings are expected to occur in bridge structures in eastern North America, where the estimated ground motion is well above 1 Hz. Three different PTFE-steel interfaces were tested at frequencies ranging from 0.02 Hz to 5 Hz, with displacement …
