Oscillations Control of Rocking-Block-Type Buildings by the Addition of a Tuned Pendulum

This study deals with the dynamical evolutions exhibited by a simple mechanical model of building, comprising a parallelepiped standing on a horizontal plane. The main goal is the introduction of a pendulum in order to reduce oscillations. The theoretical part of the work consists of a Lagrange form...
