Newmark's sliding block is a concept used in structural engineering and geotechnical engineering, particularly in the context of dynamic analysis and seismic performance evaluation of structures. It is named after Nathan M. Newmark, who developed methods for the dynamic analysis of structures. The sliding block analogy is commonly employed to understand and analyze the behavior of structures under seismic loading. It simplifies the analysis of structural responses to earthquakes by modeling a structure as a block that can slide or move over a surface.
