Abstract A new composite isolator named shape memory alloy cable-double friction pendulum bearing (SCDFPB), which combines a double friction pendulum bearing (DFPB) with superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) cables, is proposed. Based on the SMA cables, the proposed isolation bearing named as SCDFPB...
