title = "An introduction to the double concave friction pendulum bearing",
abstract = "The Double Concave Friction Pendulum (DCFP) bearing is an adaptation of the well-known single concave Friction Pendulum bearing. The principal benefit of the DCFP bearing is its capacity to accommodate substantially larger displacements compared to a traditional FP bearing of identical plan dimensions. Moreover, by using concave surfaces having different radii of curvature and coefficients of friction, there is greater flexibility in design to optimize performance. This paper describes the principles of operation of the bearing and presents sample results of characterization testing.",
