What changed from existing technology?
This study introduces a new type of rubber bearing that helps protect electrical equipment from both vibrations caused by normal operations and earthquakes. It uses special rubber layers and a damping system to reduce shaking in different directions.
The study introduces a new type of rubber bearing that combines thick-rubber layers with a viscous damping component for better vibration and seismic control, along with a novel method to predict vertical stiffness.

What still needs to be solved?
Repeated real-world validation, manufacturability, cost, and long-term stability still require follow-up evidence.
What could change if this succeeds?
The VDRB can be used to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by both operational vibrations and seismic events, improving safety and stability.
