Abstract

In this research, we describe the design of a seismic isolation system with power generation performance. There are three main types of anti-vibration measures: earthquake resistance, vibration control, and seismic isolation. Recently, seismic isolation structures that do not transmit vibrations by insulating them from the ground attract attention. In addition, various seismic isolation devices have been proposed and applied to actual buildings. We incorporated an inertial mass damper (inerter) into a seismic isolation device and designed the mechanism with response reduction effect and power generation. The design proposal is described in detail. Furthermore, the vibration experiment using a sine wave was performed on this seismic isolation system, and we measured the acceleration response of the input wave and the seismic isolation layer and the voltage obtained from the motors at that time and evaluated its performance. Also, in the simulation, we examined the influence of parameters on the acceleration response using a mass point model.
