Abstract: A Bernoulli–Euler beam resting on a viscoelastic foundation subject to a platoon of moving dynamic loads can be used as a physical model to describe railways and highways under traffic loading. ...

Abstract: This paper extends the classical problem of transient wave propagation in multilayered solids to transient wave propagation in multilayered viscoelastic solids. Laplace and Hankel transforms and ...

Abstract: Many of the existing studies on vehicle dynamics assume that vehicles travel at a constant speed on a homogeneous pavement surface. In this paper the effect of nonstationary surface excitation to vehicle dynamics are ...

Abstract: An analytical solution of steady-state dynamic response of a multilayered viscoelastic medium to a moving distributed load is obtained using a novel approach that combines transfer matrix method ...

Abstract: An effective inverse analysis computer program that integrates nonlinear optimization algorithm and forward dynamic analysis of multilayered medium is developed for inferring structural and material ...

Abstract: A rigorous theoretical foundation for solving elastodynamic inverse problem of multilayered media under an impulse load is established in this paper. The inversion is built upon the forward ...
