## Abstract This study is concerned with the conditions for the initiation of various modes of response of a freeโstanding rigid body, initially at rest, placed on a frictional horizontal base which undergoes earthquakeโlike accelerations in both the horizontal and vertical directions. These condit

Simultaneous sliding and rotation of the rigid block is studied, when it is subjected to a strong horizontal motion of the ground. The main purpose of the work is to develop an analytical approach, to predict qualitatively possible behaviour of the body. Two phases of the block rotation are investig
## Abstract This investigation deals with nonโlinear seismic responses of freeโstanding rectangular rigid bodies on horizontally and vertically accelerating rigid foundations. The responses are classified into two initial responses and four subsequent responses, accordingly the equations of motion
## Abstract An improved technique to prospectively correct threeโdimensional rigidโbody motion using polar spherical navigator (pNAV) echoes is presented. The technique is based on acquiring pNAVs of an object in a baseline and rotated position and determining the axis of rotation (AOR) between dat
This article advocates a general procedure for the numerical investigation of pseudo-rigid bodies. The equations of motion for pseudo-rigid bodies are shown to be mathematically equivalent to those corresponding to certain constant-strain รฟnite element approximations for general deformable continua.
