Rocking or rolling--perception of ambiguous motion after returning from space. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The central nervous system must resolve the ambiguity of inertial motion sensory cues in order to derive an accurate representation of spatial orientation. Adaptive changes during spaceflight in how the brain integrates vestibular cues with other sensory

Numerical Simulation of Rigid Blocks Subjected to Rocking Motion
, 2006 This paper addresses the numerical modelling of rigid blocks subjected to rocking motion. Two different tools are considered. The first tool is analytical and overcomes the usual limitations of the traditional piecewise equations of motion through Lagrangian formalism.

Non-smooth dynamics of buckling based metainterfaces: Rocking-like motion and bifurcations [PDF]
International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 2022 The non-smooth dynamics is investigated for an elastic planar metainterface composed by two layers of buckling elements, each one allowing motion on one side only. Through the analogy between buckling and unilateral contact and by assuming no-bouncing at

A novel impact model for the rocking motion of masonry arches
Meccanica (Milano. Print), 2023 The in-plane rocking motion of a masonry arch subjected to ground acceleration is investigated, focusing on the impacts at stereotomy sections, which may occur during the motion. It is assumed that the arch arrives at the impact moving along a prescribed

Characterizing Dynamic Decay of Motion of Free-Standing Rocking Members
, 2017 Rocking is likely the primary dynamic mode of vibration during the earthquake response of free-standing structural members. Previous research has routinely described the dynamic behavior of these members using a coefficient of restitution ( r) modeling ...

Machine Learning Algorithms for the Prediction of the Seismic Response of Rigid Rocking Blocks
Applied Sciences, 2023 A variety of structural members and non-structural components, including bridge piers, museum artifacts, furniture, or electrical and mechanical equipment, can uplift and rock under ground motion excitations.

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2022 The influence of the vertical component of ground motion is investigated for assessing the distribution of the seismic response of unanchored rigid blocks. Multiple stripes of site‐hazard‐consistent ground motions are employed for calculating the seismic
