Abstract: This paper considers the vertical vibrations of an elastic circular plate in a multilayered poroelastic half space. The plate is subjected to axisymmetric time–harmonic vertical loading and its response is governed by the ...

Abstract: Composites of piezoelectric materials are widely used in practical applications such as medical devices, nondestructive testing devices, and intelligent or smart structures. The study of mechanics and effective properties ...

Abstract: In this paper, vertical vibrations of a group of flexible strip foundations on multilayered transversely isotropic poroelastic soils are presented. The dynamic interaction problem is studied by employing a variational ...
