Linearization and first-order expansion of the rocking motion of rigid blocks stepping on viscoelastic foundation.

In structural mechanics there are several occasions where a linearized formulation of the original non-linear problem reduces considerably the computational effort for the response analysis. In a broader sense, a linearized formulation can be viewed as a first-order expansion of the dynamic equilibr...
