The utility of ring springs in seismic isolation systems
Ring springs are frictional devices consisting of inner and outer ring elements assembled to form a spring stack. External load applied to the spring produces sliding action across mating ring interfaces. Large amounts of energy, as much as 60-70% of the total cycle energy, may be absorbed in overco...
