Base isolation is a well-established technique of vibration mitigation. Among the many devices available on the market, elastomeric base isolators are widely adopted. Their drawback is the aging of the elastomeric component, which makes a strict maintenance plan mandatory. This manuscript summarizes an experimental study where the performance of new base isolators is compared with that of 10-years old devices.

Abstract
Base isolation is a well-established technique of vibration mitigation. Among the many devices available on the market, elastomeric base isolators are widely adopted. Their drawback is the aging of the elastomeric component, which makes a strict maintenance plan mandatory. This manuscript summarizes an experimental study where the performance of new base isolators is compared with that of 10-years old devices.File in questo prodotto:
