Abstract: A fairly detailed derivation of the spectral Green's dyadic for point sources in unbounded poroelastic media is presented. It is assumed that the motion of the poroelastic medium is governed by Biot's theory of poroelasticity; ...

Abstract: The problem under consideration is to determine the motion of a poroelastic half-space produced by a buried point source with arbitrary time variation. The method followed is to generate the associated Green's functions ...

Abstract: A two‐layered continuum in which the underlying half‐space is a fluid‐saturated porous (two‐phased) medium is considered. A comprehensive analysis is made of the disturbance produced in this continuum by time harmonic ...

Abstract: The force‐displacement relationship associated with the vertical vibration of a circular rigid disk resting on a saturated layered half‐space is derived using Biot's two‐phased linear theory. The analysis relies on the use ...

Abstract: Input excitations of certain intensity that maximize the structural response have been an interesting subject of several investigations since the early 1970s. The basis of this lies in a worst case type of analysis that ...
