Current models that describe the behavior of the Triple Friction Pendulum bearing (Fenz and Constantinou, 2008a to 2008e; Morgan, 2007) are based on the assumption that the resultant force of the ...

This report presents and verifies a revised model of the behavior of triple friction pendulum bearings that explicitly computes the sliding displacements, sliding velocities and the rise in ...

Both the real pendulum and the simulation mimic each others' movements exactly -- adjusting the motor affects the simulation and adjusting the parameters of the simulation affects the motor ...
