Abstract: A base isolator has four base isolation units placed at four corners between a floor slab and a floor plate. Each base isolation unit has a middle plate, a lower support body which is rotatable in a first direction on the lower side of the middle plate, and an upper support body rotatable in a second direction on the upper side of the middle plate. The upper support body and the lower support body each have mutually eccentric rollers. The middle plates of the four base isolation units are separated from one another so that the plates can be independently displaced or moved.

Abstract: A passive vibration-damping unit in which movable upper members with a weight mounted thereon are superposed on fixed lower members with roller members interposed therebetween is installed in a highest story of a high-rise building. An active vibration-damping unit for actively causing the movable upper members of the passive vibration-damping unit to move in a shaking manner by means of a servo motor is incorporated in the passive vibration-damping unit. When the vibration of the building has occurred, the weight is allowed to move forcibly in the vibration-damping direction by means of the active vibration-damping unit. When the vibration has reached a limit value of the relative displacement of the active vibration-damping unit or a limit value of the torque of the servo motor, only the operation of the passive vibration-damping unit is continued. When the vibration has subsided to a certain extent, the active vibration-damping unit is operated again.

Abstract: The method concerns fabricating heat-resistant heavy-duty components of a rbine, e.g. disk, wheel, etc. wherein two or more different kinds of alloys are junctioned, which comprises solidifying the one alloy powder by hot isostatic pressing or extrusion, junctioning and solidifying the solidified alloy with the other alloy powder by hot isostatic pressing or extrusion, and subjecting the alloys thus obtained to superplasticity forging thereby to secure the junction boundary. Ni-base superalloys having different complete solid solution temperatures of gamma prime phase are selected for use in the hub and rim of a turbine disk or the like, the one alloy which is higher in the temperature being disposed for the hub and the other alloy for the rim. The difference in the temperature between both alloys is at least 8.degree. C. Further solution heat treatment is performed at a temperature between the complete solid solution temperatures to adjust crystal grain size.
