In this paper, interpolated variational iteration method (IVIM) is applied to investigate the vibration period and steady-state response for motion of rigid rod rocking back forth on a circular surface without slipping. The problem can be considered as strongly nonlinear oscillator. solution procedure, analytical technique utilized by evaluating integrals numerically. approximate results produc...

The asymmetric problem of rocking rotation of a circular rigid disk embedded in a finite depth of a transversely isotropic half-space is analytically addressed. The rigid disk is assumed to be in frictionless contact with the elastic half-space. By virtue of appropriate Green's functions, the mixed boundary value problem is written as a dual integral equation. Employing further mathematical tec...

Primarily, two models are commonly used to describe rocking of rigid bodies; the Housner model, and the Winkler foundation model. The first deals with the motion of a rigid block rocking about its base corners on a rigid foundation. The second deals with the motion of a rigid block rocking and bouncing on a flexible foundation of distributed linear springs and dashpots (Winkler foundation). The...

Introduced as a system in earthquake engineering in 2004 [6], rocking walls are a fairly new system in earthquake engineering. Their performance has been proven, both in research as in practice. However, a few uncertainties about their behavior still remain. One of these uncertainties is the effect of radiation damping on the motion of the system. Existing estimations for the radiation damping ...

this study proposes a new linear approximation for solving the dynamic response equations of a rocking rigid block. linearization assumptions which have already been used by hounser and other researchers cannot be valid for all rocking blocks with various slenderness ratios and dimensions; hence, developing new methods which can result in better approximation of governing equations while keepin...
