Motion Detection and Base Isolation System for Earthquake-Resistant Relief Structures: Application of Biomimetics

The conceptual design of a motion detection and base isolation system for earthquake-resistant relief structures is presented. The design process, which applies principles of biomimetics, is inspired by the motion detection ability of birds and fishes and shock isolation ability of woodpeckers’...
