Numerical modeling of MDOF structures with sliding supports using rigid plastic link.

In this paper, the responses of multi degree of freedom (MDOF) structures on sliding supports subjected to harmonic or random base motions are investigated. Modeling of the friction force under the foundation raft is accomplished by using a fictitious rigid link which has a rigid perfectly plastic m...
