Abstract
A finite element formulation modelling hyperelastic quasi-incompressible rubber-like materials (elastomers) is developed which takes into account large displacements and large elastic strains as well as inelastic effects. The capacity of laminated rubber-like materials to support [...]
Abstract
In this monograph, a numerical model based on the finite element method is developed to analyze buildings with base seismic isolation, discretizing the structure-isolator system. [...]
