Abstract
ABSTRACT A Tunable Friction Pendulum System (TFPS) was proposed to investigate its seismic isolation control performance in bridge structures. First, the structural design and theoretical model of TFPS are given. Second, the mechanical properties of TFPS are studied through finite element simulation. Then, the above TFPS is introduced into the bridge structure, and the analysis model is established based on SAP2000. Finally, a nonlinear time-history analysis is carried out on the bridge structure, and the seismic isolation performance of TFPS is evaluated by using the dynamic characteristic response index of the bridge structure. Theoretical derivation and finite element analysis results show that TFPS can adjust the dynamic characteristics in real time according to the spectral characteristics of the ground motion input and the response of the structure itself, so that the friction force can be continuously adjusted and energy consumption can be adjusted.
