The simulation results obtained in this way provide a large series of data about the behavior of elastomeric isolation bearings under different types of loads and help in taking right decisions regarding geometrical optimizations needed for improve such kind of devices. %K elastomeric isolation systems %K earthquake %K safety %K finite element method %U http://anale-ing.uem.ro/2011/A24.pdf
