Abstract:This study presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of the efficacy of pendulum tuned mass dampers (PTMD) in mitigating the overturning risk of rigid blocks subjected to artificial seismic loads. The block is modeled as a rigid parallelepiped undergoing rocking motion, with the PTMD characterized by its mass, length, and viscous damping properties, mounted on top of the block. The analysis includes the derivation of the differential equations of motion for the coupled system, which are numerically integra… Show more
