Journal ArticleDOI
Base isolation of slide-rocking non-symmetric rigid blocks under impulsive and seismic excitations
A. Di Egidio,Alessandro Contento +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the influence of base isolation on the behavior of rigid blocks representing works of art, and found that base isolation can be more effective for rigid bodies with geometrical parameters similar to those of real works.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations into the benefits of base isolation for non-symmetric rigid blocks
Alessandro Contento,A. Di Egidio +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of base isolation on the behaviour of a work of art has been analyzed, where a non-symmetric rigid body is modelled with a base that is connected to a visco-elastic device, representing the passive control system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic response of a non-symmetric rigid block on a constrained oscillating base
A. Di Egidio,Alessandro Contento +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of base isolation on the behavior of rigid blocks which represent works of art has been analyzed and two types of security stops have been considered and their effects on the system investigated, one is able to prevent isolation device breakage by limiting the displacement of the oscillating base to a maximum safety value, the others are introduced to prevent the rigid body from falling off the base.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the use of a pendulum as mass damper to control the rocking motion of a rigid block with fixed characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a mass damper on the rocking motion of a non-symmetric rigid block, subject to one-sine pulse type excitation, is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivities and Linear Stability Analysis Around a Double-Zero Eigenvalue
TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitivity analysis of the critical eigenvalues is performed to explore the neighborhood of a critical point in the parameter space, and the analysis reveals the existence of a generic (nonsingular ) case and of a nongeneric (singular) case.
