- Abstract
In this paper, we suggest the new intelligent fluid applying MR fluid, and new base-isolation system using that new intelligent fluid. At first, new intelligent fluid suggested in this paper as MSF (Magnet Solidification Fluid) consist of some magnetic fluid and special particles. The most remarkable characteristic of the MSF is that this fluid gives stable and optional yield sharing stress by gathering the properties of containing materials. By the way, in the region where the earthquake often occurs, buildings and industrial equipments must be provided for earthquakes. Then, fuse property is considered as the most anticipative idea for base-isolation system at present. That is, base-isolation system holds an upper structure by stable holding force at usual condition or slight earthquake. On the other hand, when a severe earthquake occurs, it releases holding force and insulates transfer of excitation force of earthquake at the isolation layer of system by yielding relative displacement between ground and an upper structure. According to such idea, we developed new base-isolation system utilizing characteristic of MSF.
