- Abstract
This research investigates the mechanical behavior of a helical wire rope isolator deforming along its shear direction. In particular, we present the results of an extensive experimental campaign including both quasi-static and dynamic tests. The former provide hysteresis loops characterizing the device quasi-static behavior; the latter, performed by using an electro-mechanical shaker, furnish frequency response curves describing the dynamic behavior of a rigid block supported by the tested device. To simulate such a complex behavior, we adopt a generalized Bouc–Wen model and identify its parameters on the basis of the quasi-static test results. Subsequently, such a model is employed to reproduce the frequency response curves of the isolated rigid block. Since the results of the dynamic tests suggest the presence of rate-dependent hysteresis phenomena in the isolated system, the generalized Bouc–Wen model is enhanced by introducing a linear viscous component. Finally, to substantiate the model validation, the experimental results obtained by applying a series of white noise signals are compared with those obtained numerically to demonstrate the model capability of reproducing the device behavior in non-stationary response conditions.
