An investigation of the effects of mass distribution on pounding structures.

The effects of diaphragm mass distribution are investigated for building pounding. Elastic diaphragm-to-diaphragm collisions are explained by considering the total momentum over the length of each diaphragm at three critical instants during collision. Expressions for collision force and collision du...
