Finite element analysis of a rubber bearing base isolator under vertical and horizontal loads using a nonlinear hyper-viscoelastic material model

This research is devoted to developing a finite element model using Abaqus code for the computer simulation of an in-house developed and manufactured rubber bearing subjected to static vertical and cyclic horizontal loads. A high-damping rubber compound was designed. The material behavior of the rub...
