On the Dynamics of Unilaterally Supported Rigid Blocks


Abstract eng:
The paper addresses the problem of the study of dynamic evolution of a rigid block under pure rocking, which, as well known, is strongly affected by the impacts of the block with the foundation base. On one side, the paper sets up the problem from a theoretical point of view, writing down dynamic equilibrium conditions involving the impact problem by means of the Dirac- distribution. On the other side, an overview of some experimental tests performed on a shaking table is given for emphasizing peculiar feature of dynamic motion.
