abstract

the dynamic response of a transversely isotropic, linearly elastic layer bonded to the surface of a half-space of a different transversely isotropic material under arbitrary shape surface loads is considered. with the help of displacements and stresses green’s functions, an analytical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements and stresses at any point in both surface layer and the underneath half-space in frequency domain. special results are prepared for circular, ellipsoidal, square and recangular patch load. it is shown that the displacements and stresses due to circular patch load are colapesd on the existing solution in the literature. some new illustrations are prepared to show the effect of the shape of the patch on the responses of the domain specially near the load.

Fundamental Steady state Solution for the Transversely Isotropic Half Space

Response of a transversely isotropic 3-D half-space subjected to a surface time-harmonic excitation is presented in analytical form. The derivation of the fundamental solutions expressed in terms of displacements is based on the prefect series of displacement potential functions that have been obtained in the companion paper by the authors. First the governing equations are uncoupled in the cyl...

Vertical and Rocking Impedances for Surface Rigid Foundation Resting on a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space

The vertical and rocking impedances of a rigid foundation resting on a semi-infinite transversely isotropic medium are obtained in the frequency domain. In the present approach, the contact pressure distribution on the soil foundation-interface is approximated by a linear combination of known pressure patterns. It is shown herein that the approximate solutions of spatial displacement distributi...

analytical solution for a transversely isotropic half-space due to torsion on the wall of a finite length cylindrical cavity

in this article, a transversely isotropic linear elastic half-space with depth wise isotropy axis of material containing a cylindrical cavity of finite length is considered to be under the effect of an arbitrary torsion force applied on the wall of the cavity. to this end, the equation of equilibrium has been written in a cylindrical coordinate system, by dividing the involved domain to two reg...

Coupled BE-FE Scheme for Three-Dimensional Dynamic Interaction of a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space with a Flexible Structure

The response of structures bonded to the surface of a transversely isotropic half-space (TIHS) under the effect of time-harmonic forces is investigated using a coupled FE-BE scheme. To achieve this end, a Finite Element program has been developed for frequency domain analysis of 3D structures, as the first step. The half-space underlying the structure is taken into consideration using a Boundar...
