Abstract: A computational method is introduced for simulating seismic wave propagation in elastic-viscoplastic shear layers. The fundamental dynamics are expressed by two partial differential equations for shear stress and velocity, ...

Abstract: A computational method is proposed for simulating rheological phenomena of a body composed of a material such as soft soil, powder, and granular material under large excitations. These phenomena are considered to be ...

Abstract: Dynamic characteristics are analytically investigated for a single degree of freedom structure with a Maxwell element (SSME). Eigenvalues are obtained analytically and approximated by a perturbation method. Then, cases are ...
