Abstract: The field and constitutive equations expressing the dynamic behavior of fully saturated elastic rocks with two degrees of porosity—one due to the pores and the other due to the fissures—are developed. The corresponding ...

Abstract: A review of boundary element methods for the numerical solution of dynamic problems of linear elasticity is presented. The integral formulation and the corresponding numerical solution of three- ...

Abstract: A review of boundary element methods for the numerical solution of elastodynamic problems covering the period 1986-1996 is presented. It is a continuation of a review article on the same subject ...

Abstract: The one‐dimensional dynamic column and borehole problems of rock mechanics are solved analytically and numerically on the assumption that the water fully saturated, elastic rock medium is characterized by two degrees of ...

Abstract: The basic methods of structural concrete design that have been developed so far cannot directly control damage, either at the local or the global level. In order to develop an integrated scheme for direct damage control ...

Abstract: A review of boundary element methods for the numerical treatment of free and forced vibrations of flexural plates is presented. The integral formulation and the corresponding numerical solution ...

Abstract: This paper presents a singular integral equation technique for solving dynamic poroelasticity problems. The poroelastic governing equations are presented using total stress variables instead of the partial stress ones in ...

Abstract: The propagation of plane harmonic Rayleigh waves in a half‐space elastic, fully saturated, rock medium characterized by two degrees of porosity—one due to the pores and the other due to the fissures—is studied analytically. ...

Abstract: The propagation of plane harmonic body waves in an unbounded, fully saturated, elastic rock medium characterized by two degrees of porosity—one due to the pores and the other due to the fissures—is studied analytically‐n ...

Abstract: An alternative and efficient procedure to estimate the maximum inelastic roof displacement and the maximum inelastic interstory drift ratio along the height of regular multistory steel MRF subjected to pulselike ground ...
