Dynamical response of a rocking rigid block [PDF]
This paper investigates the complex dynamical behavior of a rigid block structure under harmonic ground excitation, thereby mimicking, for instance, the oscillation of the system under seismic excitation or containers placed on a ship under periodic acting of sea waves. The equations of motion are derived, assuming a large frictional coefficient at the

Fuzzy Multivariate Regression Models for Seismic Assessment of Rocking Structures
The assessment of rocking response is a challenging task due to its high nonlinearity. The present study investigates two methodologies to evaluate finite rocking rotations and overturn of three typical rocking systems.

Machine Learning Algorithms for the Prediction of the Seismic Response of Rigid Rocking Blocks
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.

Shaking table tests on seismic response of rocking frame structure considering foundation uplift
The separation of structural foundation and foundation soil, namely the foundation uplift, is inevitable in strong earthquakes, so the concept of rocking isolation is gradually proposed.

Numerical modeling of seismic response and damage estimation of concrete rocking walls under seismic loading [PDF]
Application of self-centering rocking walls is now widely accepted as a viable alternative to removal of some of the common seismic defects of conventional shear walls including residual drift and significant damage to the base of walls.

Fluctuation-response relation in a rocking ratchet [PDF]
The relationship between the positional fluctuation and mechanical response for a thermal ratchet at a nonequilibrium steady state was investigated experimentally and considered theoretically. We constructed a ratchet system using a scanning optical trapping system and microbeads (0.20 microm diameter), which is interpreted as a realization of a ...

Hilbert–Huang-Transform-Based Seismic Intensity Measures for Rocking Response Assessment
Structures that can uplift and rock under severe seismic excitations present remarkable stability without exhibiting damage. As such, rocking-response-based structural systems constitute a promising design practice.

The exercise pressor response to indoor rock climbing [PDF]
This case study provides original data on the exercise pressor response to indoor rock climbing and associated training exercises through the use of an indwelling femoral arterial catheter. Our subjects exhibited systolic/diastolic blood pressures that exceeded values often reported during upper-limb resistance exercise.
