摘要： A seismic shock isolator and method of strengthening structures against seismic shock is disclosed. The shock isolator includes a cylinder having a damping chamber and an accumulator chamber and a piston movable into the damping chamber. The damping chamber can contain compressible liquid or incompressible liquid. The piston has a damping head and a first control orifice, and the accumulator chamber is separated from the damping chamber by a wall having a second control orifice having a higher exponent than the first control orifice. Movement of the piston into the damping chamber creates a combination of damping and stiffening having a spring component. When the isolator has compressible liquid therein, the spring and stiffening is produced by a compression of the liquid. When the isolator contains an incompressible liquid, the stiffening and spring component are obtained by a yielding of a column which movably supports the wall which divides the damping chamber from the accumulator chamber. The method protects the structure against damage due to seismic forces having a band of frequencies, and it includes the placement of a passive restraining seismic isolator of the above type in the structure and applying a combination of hydraulic damping and frequency dependent stiffening with a spring component to the structure in response to the structure being subjected to seismic forces.

摘要： A liquid spring unit operable in both tension and compression includes a liquid spring having a cylinder, a piston, a seal between the cylinder and piston, and compressible liquid in the cylinder. A cylinder extension has diametrically opposed slots therein. A sleeve slidably mounts the cylinder and has diametrically opposed slots in alignment with the slots in the cylinder extension. A link is attached to the piston and has pintles received in the pairs of aligned slots. A first load-receiving member is attached to the sleeve and a second load-receiving member bears on the link to force the piston into the cylinder when the load-receiving members are moved toward each other and causes the cylinder to be moved onto the piston when the load-receiving members are pulled away from each other.
