| Abstract | The rocking (overturning) instability of one and two rigid—block assemblies underground motion of sinus and cosinus pulses is reconsidered. The Housner effect according to which between two geometrically similar (rectangular) rigid blocks, the taller is more stable (than the lower one) is extended to the case where between two rigid blocks having the same width, the taller is generally more stable. It was also found that overturning for one rigid block (1-DOF) system without or after one impact occurs through an unstable equilibrium (saddle) point via an escaped motion (inflection point in the curve relating the unknown rotation to the time). Such a critical state happens always during a free motion regime regardless of whether impact occurs before or after the external excitation expires. The condition of overturning after one impact (occurring after the external excitation expires) was established through one elegant equation which relates directly the minimum amplitude ground excitation to the external frequency. For a two-rigid block (2-DOF) system overturning without or after impact (associated with a minimum amplitude ground excitation) occurs in the upper rigid block according to the aforementioned inflection point criterion. All linearized results were also verified via non-linear numerical analysis, properly adjusted to include the rotational friction of the block pivot axis at the rocking initiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
