Structural engineering generally deals with structures subjected to dynamic loads with the hypothesis of deformable behaviour. However, in some cases such as art objects, isolated columns, statues, tanks of oil storage, water towers, nuclear reactors, cement blocks used for radiation shielding and special artifacts the simplified model of a rigid block simply supported on a plane can be useful. The case of free oscillations for one simply supported rigid block and two superimposed blocks, together with forced excitations of the base of one block are analyzed in this paper.

Abstract

Structural engineering generally deals with structures subjected to dynamic loads with the hypothesis of deformable behaviour. However, in some cases such as art objects, isolated columns, statues, tanks of oil storage, water towers, nuclear reactors, cement blocks used for radiation shielding and special artifacts the simplified model of a rigid block simply supported on a plane can be useful. The case of free oscillations for one simply supported rigid block and two superimposed blocks, together with forced excitations of the base of one block are analyzed in this paper.
