The Use of a Pendulum Dynamic Mass Absorber to Protect a Trilithic Symmetric System from the Overturning

The trilith consists of two vertical elements (columns) supporting a horizontal element (lintel). The understanding of the dynamic behaviour of triliths is an important step towards their preservation and starts with the knowledge of the dynamics of rigid blocks. A passive method based on a dynamic...
