Abstract: By means of the viscoelastic wave propagation model for a homogeneous semi-infinite solid, a rational analytical and computational framework is developed for nonintrusive, wave-based characterization of lossy media. The ...

Abstract: This study formulates a frequency-domain computational scheme for simulating nonlinear wave propagation in a homogeneous medium governed by the Westervelt equation. The need for such numerical treatment arises in both ...

Abstract: To advance the mathematical and computational treatments of mixed boundary value problems involving multilayered media, a new derivation of the fundamental Green’s functions for the elastodynamic problem is presented. By ...

Abstract: By means of scaled modeling on a geotechnical centrifuge, a systematic experimental investigation was conducted to examine the vertical dynamic response of surface foundations on granular soils. From the results of more ...

Abstract: Records of pile lengths are not available for several hundred high-mast light towers (HMLTs) throughout the state of Minnesota. The foundation systems, typically steel H-piles or concrete-filled steel pipe piles connected ...
