Impulsive dirac-delta forces in the rocking motion

In this work the classical theory of one block rocking motion is revisited. A Dirac-delta type interaction as impact mechanism is found to be an alternative for the traditional model. Numerical computations with this new formulation have shown that the agreement with the classical theory is excellen...
