Friction pendulum bearings.
Curved sliding surfaces combine horizontal movement with frictional energy dissipation for seismic isolation applications.
Curved sliding.
Controlled movement.
The assembly transfers vertical load while allowing relative horizontal movement along a curved sliding surface. Friction dissipates energy; the curved geometry provides restoring action.
