Analytical expression between the impact damping ratio and the coefficient of restitution in the non-linear viscoelastic model of structural pounding.

Earthquake-induced structural pounding has been recently intensively studied with the help of different models of impact force. It has been verified through comparisons, that the non-linear viscoelastic model may be considered somewhat the most accurate one among them. The aim of this short paper is...
