- Abstract:
- This paper presents a smart elastomeric bearing using PVDF polymer film, which is very sensitive to dynamic loading condition. The PVDF polymer film is inserted into the elastomeric bearing to monitor the normal load, which is applied to the bridge structure. Therefore, the prototype of the smart elastomeric bearing is finally fabricated with the electric circuit for signal of the PVDF polymer film subjected to vertical loading. The evaluation system for smart elastomeric bearing is manufactured with shake, accelerometer and plate. The bearing was tested under sinusoidal loading condition. Finally the system confirmed that real time measurement of elastomeric bearing reaction provides the structure with certain intelligence.
