Analytical models for laterally flexible rocking bodies

Rocking motion often arises due to dynamic excitations, such as earthquakes. To understand the rocking behaviour of non-rigid structures, specifically laterally flexible rocking bodies, this thesis develops analytical models of flexible rocking oscillators and validates them using experimental tests...
