Dynamic sensitivity of a multi-block stack subjected to horizontal harmonic excitation

Dynamic sensitivity of a one-dimensional stack of four rigid blocks with controlled initial gaps, undergoing external harmonic vibrations is investigated. Time variation of the mass inertia and the relative kinetic energy are considered as dynamic block stack attributes. Numerical simulation is based on the Non Smooth Contact Dynamics (NSCD) time integration framework Solfec (http://code.google.com/p/solfec/). Sensitivity space parameters include a range of excitation frequencies and velocity amplitudes.
