Effective Formula for Impact Damping Ratio for Simulation of Earthquake-induced Structural Pounding

Structural pounding during earthquakes may cause substantial damage to colliding structures. The phenomenon is numerically studied using different models of collisions. The aim of the present paper is to propose an effective formula for the impact damping ratio, as a parameter of the impact force mo...
