The rocking spectrum and the limitations of practical design methodologies.

This paper is concerned with the superficial similarities and fundamental differences between the oscillatory response of a single degree of freedom (SDOF) oscillator (regular pendulum) and the rocking response of a slender rigid block (inverted pendulum). The study examines the distinct characteris...
