Abstract: A rigid rectangular foundation embedded in an elastic half space moves in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the half space, Fig. 1. The model under consideration is of the plane-strain ...

Abstract: A rigid rectangular foundation, embedded in an elastic half space, is subjected to a plane, transient, horizontally polarized shear (SH) wave. Embedment depth of the foundation and the angle ...

Abstract: A rigid rectangular foundation, embedded at an arbitrary depth below the surface of an elastic half space is subjected to a plane, transient SH-wave. The Laplace and Kantorovich-Lebedev transforms ...

Abstract: The plane strain model of a rigid building foundation embedded below the surface of an elastic half space is treated. The foundation is assumed to be vibrating freely with arbitrary transient ...

Abstract: Scattering of plane harmonic compressional and shear waves (P and SV-waves) by a semi-infinite rigid-smooth strip or ribbon which is a plane barrier with its top and bottom surfaces being ...

Abstract: Diffractions of horizontally polarized shear waves by a parabolic cylinder are studied by using the expansion of solutions to the wave equation in terms of Weber’s functions. The parabolic ...

Abstract: The dynamic response, including the stresses at the surface, of a rigid parabolic cylinder in an infinite elastic solid is studied for an incident plane compressional wave. The method of ...
