Pounding of structures modelled as non-linear impacts of two oscillators.

A new formulation is proposed to model pounding between two adjacent structures, with natural periods T1 and T2 and damping ratios 1 and 2 under harmonic earthquake excitation, as non-linear Hertzian impact between two single degree of freedom oscillators. For the case of rigid impacts, a special ca...
