“…Shake table tests were conducted on the same materials and the optimum friction coefficient were found to be 0.1 and 0.2, respectively. Furthermore, Nishimura et al [19] conducted another research on the results of two previous studies, where they investigated a metal-touched type base isolator, for which they assigned the experimental damping coefficient, static frictional coefficient and dynamic frictional coefficient as c = 0.096 -0.153, = 0.17 -0.21, and = 0.11 -0.16, respectively, and used a simulation to evaluate the response reduction effect of a multi-degree-freedom system model. The responses were in the range of 50-80% reduction.…”
