Abstract
This paper proposes a new numerical model of lead material for finite element method to predict mechanical properties of isolation and vibration control devices using lead material. Shear loading tests and tensile loading of lead material tests were carried out. Shear loading test specimen were constrained from circumferential lead part and welded steel flange on it. Cyclic stress-strain relation was given from shear loading test results. The elastic modulus and the initial yield stress were given from tensile loading tests. Loading test results of the lead dampers and the isolated rubber bearings were simulated to evaluate applicability of our model.
