A numerical model for the isolation of moving-load induced vibrations by pile rows embedded in layered porous media

A numerical model is developed to analyse the isolation of moving-load induced vibrations using pile rows embedded in a layered poroelastic half-space. Based on Biot’s theory and the transmission and reflection matrices (TRM) method, the free wave field solution for a moving load applied on the surface of a layered poroelastic half-space and the fundamental solution for an harmonic circular patch load are determined. Using Muki and Sternberg’s method, the second kind of frequency domain Fredholm integral equations for the dynamic interaction between pile rows and the layered poroelastic half-space are derived. The time domain solution is recovered via inverse Fourier transform in order to obtain the amplitude reduction ratio and thus assess the vibration isolation efficiency of pile rows. A special case of the present model shows good agreement with an existing solution. Numerical results of this study show that the speed of moving loads has an important influence on the isolation of vibrations by pile rows: the same pile rows can achieve better isolation efficiencies for higher speed loads than for lower speed loads. Pile rows embedded in a two-layered poroelastic half-space with a softer overlying layer usually generate better vibration isolation effects than those with a stiffer overlying layer. Finally, better isolation vibration may be realized by increasing the pile length and decreasing the net spacing between neighboring piles in a pile row.     

A wavenumber domain boundary element model for the vibration isolation via a new type of pile structure: linked pile rows

In this study, a new kind of pile structure, namely linked periodic pile rows, is proposed for the vibration isolation facility. The proposed linked periodic pile rows consist of pile rows with pile tops rigidly linked by beams. To investigate the vibration isolation effect of linked pile rows, a numerical model is developed for the simulation of the dynamic response of linked pile rows. To address the pile–soil interaction problem, based on the sequence Fourier transform method, a wavenumber domain boundary element method is developed for the pile–soil system. The beams linking the pile tops are dealt with by the bar and beam vibrational theories. By using the coupling conditions between the pile tops and linking beams as well as the periodicity condition for the beam–pile–soil system, the complementary equations for the system are established. With the proposed model, the vibration isolation effects of the linked pile rows are investigated and compared with those of free pile rows. The comparison indicates that linked pile rows usually yield a better isolation vibration effect than free pile rows. Hence, linked pile rows are a more effective wave barrier for vibration isolation than free pile rows.     

Influence of rotation and generalized magneto-thermoelastic on Rayleigh waves in a granular medium under effect of initial stress and gravity field

Influence of rotation, relaxation times, magnetic field, initial stress and gravity field on attenuation coefficient (Imaginary part of frequency equation root) and Rayleigh waves velocity (the real part of frequency equation root) in an elastic half-space of granular medium is studied. The analytical solution is obtained by using Lame’s potential techniques. The numerical calculations are carried out for the frequency equation of Rayleigh waves velocity. The results are displayed graphically. Some results of previous investigations are deduced as special cases from this study.     

单排弹性空心管桩屏障对平面P波的隔离

由于桩体的长度远大于直径,因此将单排弹性空心管桩构成的非连续屏障对平面P波的隔离问题简化成二维平面问题,采用波函数展开法和Graf加法定理,根据桩-土界面处完全联结和管桩内壁完全自由的边界条件,得到了问题的理论解。引入无量纲位移和透射系数等概念,通过数值计算,分析了弹性空心管桩的壁厚、桩土模量比、管桩间距和管桩数量对屏障对平面P波隔离效果的影响,结果表明：隔离效果随着管桩壁厚和桩间距的减小而提高;隔离效果随着桩土模量比的增大而提高,但当桩土模量比大于500后,隔离效果提高不明显,此时可等价为刚性屏障;随着管桩数量的增多,最佳隔离区域在增大,最佳隔离位置在前移。为非连续屏障的隔振设计提供了理论依据。

Reflection and Transmission of Elastic Waves from the Interface of a Fluid-saturated Porous Solid and a Double Porosity Solid

The reflection and transmission characteristics of an incident plane P1 wave from the interface of a fluid-saturated single porous solid and a fluid-saturated double porosity solid are investigated. The fluid-saturated porous solid is modeled with the classic Biot’s theory and the double porosity medium is described by an extended Biot’s theory. In a double-porosity model with dual-permeability there exist three compressional waves and a shear wave. The effects of the incident angle and frequency on amplitude ratios of the reflected and transmitted waves to the incident wave are discussed. Two boundary conditions are discussed in detail: (a) Open-pore boundary and (b) Sealed-pore boundary. Numerical results reveal that the characteristics of the reflection and transmission coefficients to the incident angle and the frequency are quite different for the two cases of boundary conditions. Properties of the bulk waves existing in the fluid-saturated porous solid and the double porosity medium are also studied.     

VERTICAL VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF AXISYMMETRIC SATURATED SOIL

Based on Biot’s dynamic consolidation equations,by means of Laplace-Hankel transform technology,the integral solutions of stress and displacement in saturated soil with subjacent rock-stratum under axisymmetric arbitrary excitations were derived.In- fluence of the reflected wave generated by the boundary was revealed.Numerical results indicate that the vibration frequency has some effect on the vertical displacement of satu- rated soil.The vertical displacement at the surface of saturated soil lags in phase with the load.Furthermore,the dynamic permeability coefficient of saturated soil has significant effect on the vertical displacement at the initial stage of load applied,but when the load becomes stable,the effect is inapparent.     

Monochromatic surface waves on impermeable boundaries in two-component poroelastic media

The dispersion relation for surface waves on an impermeable boundary of a fully saturated poroelastic medium is investigated numerically over the whole range of applicable frequencies. To this aim a linear simplified model of a two-component poroelastic medium is used. Similarly to the classical Biot’s model, it is a continuum mechanical model but it is much simpler due to the lack of coupling of stresses. However, results for bulk waves following for these two models agree very well indeed which motivates the application of the simplified model in the analysis of surface waves. In the whole range of frequencies there exist two modes of surface waves corresponding to the classical Rayleigh and Stoneley waves. The numerical results for velocities and attenuations of these waves are shown for different values of the bulk permeability coefficient in different ranges of frequencies. In particular, we expose the low and high frequency limits, and demonstrate the existence of the Stoneley wave in the whole range of frequencies as well as the leaky character of the Rayleigh wave.     

A dynamic analysis of elastic circular plate on saturated poroelastic half space

In this paper the low frequency vibrations of an elastic circular plate on a saturated poroelastic half space are studied by the analytical method. First the governing equations of the dynamic problem for a saturated poroelastic medium are solved by means of Hankel transform. Then the dual integral equations of vertical forced vibration of an elastic plate on saturated poroelastic half space are established according to the mixed boundary-valued condition. By applying Abel transform the dual integral equations are reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical examples are given at the end of the paper.     

Modeling nonlinear Rayleigh wave fields generated by angle beam wedge transducers—A theoretical study

Nonlinear Rayleigh wave fields generated by an angle beam wedge transducer are modeled in this study. The calculated area sound sources underneath the wedge are used to model the fundamental Rayleigh sound fields on the specimen surface, which are more accurate than the previously used line sources with uniform or Gaussian amplitude distributions. A general two-dimensional nonlinear Rayleigh wave equation without parabolic approximation is introduced and the solutions are obtained using the quasilinear theory. The second harmonic Rayleigh wave due to material nonlinearity is given in an integral expression with these fundamental Rayleigh waves radiated by the wedge transmitter acting as a forcing function. Multi-Gaussian beam (MGB) models are employed to simplify these integral solutions and to extract the diffraction and attenuation correction terms explicitly. The effect of nonlinearity of generating sources on the second harmonic Rayleigh wave fields is taken into consideration; simulation results show that it will affect the magnitude and diffraction correction of the second harmonic waves in the region close to the Rayleigh wave sound sources. This research provides a theoretical improvement to alleviate the experimental restriction on analyzing the effects of diffraction, attenuation and source nonlinearity when using angle beam wedge transducers as transmitters.     

Boundary element simulation of surface waves on a deformed half-space

Homogeneous and two-layer half-spaces consisting of an anisotropic elastic, isotropic viscoelastic, or poroelastic material are considered. The Kelvin–Voigt model and the model with the Abel kernel are used as models of the viscoelastic material; the poroelastic material is studied within the framework of the model of the compressible Biot material. The case where the half-space contains a cavity is also considered. Propagation of surface waves is studied by the boundary element method. The numerical solution involves the method of collocations for a regularized boundary integral equation.     

Three Dimensional Vibration Transmission of a Plate on a Layer of Porous Medium Due to a Moving Load

Three-dimensional (3D) transmission of vibration in an infinite elastic thin plate on a layer of poroviscoelastic medium, due to a harmonic, rectangular moving load, is investigated theoretically based on Biot’s theory. The material of the medium is idealized as a uniform, fully saturated poroviscoelastic layer on bedrock. By introducing four scalar potential functions and Helmholtz decomposition theorem, analytical solutions of stress, displacement, and pore pressure with and without thin plate are derived using Fourier transform technique. Numerical results are obtained with the help of inverse Fourier transform and are used to analyze the influence of load velocity, porosity, permeability, relative stiffness of plate versus ground, and the thickness of plate on the vibration. Furthermore, the results are compared with the available dynamic response results of a non-moving load on a layer of viscoelastic material.

A Mathematical Model for Short-Time Filtration in Poroelastic Media with Thermal Relaxation and Two Temperatures

In this work, we derive a set of governing equations for a mathematical model of generalized thermoelasticity in poroelastic materials. This model predicts finite speeds of propagation of waves contrary to the model of coupled thermoelasticity where an infinite speed of propagation is inherent. Next, we prove the uniqueness of solution of these equations under suitable conditions. We also obtain a reciprocity theorem for these equations. A thermal shock problem for a half-space composed of a poroelastic material saturated with a liquid is then considered. The surface of the half-space is assumed to be traction free, permeable, and subjected to heating. The Laplace transform technique is used to solve the problem. Numerical results for the temperature in the elastic body and fluid, displacement of the elastic body, velocity of the fluid, and stresses for both components are obtained and represented graphically.     

Experimental study of the instability of convective boundary layers under the action of vibration

The wave instability of convective boundary layers in a horizontal cylindrical layer of ethanol under the action of vertical hamonic high-frequency vibration is studied. A strong destabilizing effect of the vibration on the stability of the convective boundary layers is detected. In the plane of the gravity and vibration Rayleigh numbers (Ra and R _V ), the excitation limit of the wave instability is determined. The periods of the temperature oscillations caused by the waves in the boundary layers near the inner and outer cavity boundaries are studied as functions of the Rayleigh numbers. Perm’.

Dynamic interaction of a pile with a transversely isotropic elastic half-space under transverse excitations

This investigation is concerned with a mathematical analysis of an elastic circular cylindrical pile embedded in a transversely isotropic half-space under lateral dynamic excitations. A combination of time-harmonic horizontal shear force and moment are applied at the top end of the pile. The boundary value problem is formulated by decomposing the pile-medium system into a fictitious pile and an extended transversely isotropic half-space. A Fredholm integral equation of the second kind governs the interaction problem, whose solution is then computed numerically. Selected results for dynamic compliance bending moment, displacement and slope profiles are presented for different transversely isotropic half-spaces to portray the influence of degree of anisotropy of the medium on various aspects of the solution.     

Dynamic response of a half-space to radial shear surface loadings

Summary The axisymmetric response of an elastic half-space to the sudden application of radial shear surface loadings is investigated in this paper. Exact expressions for the surface displacement components are developed by means of integral transforms and complex functions. Numerical results are presented in diagrams to show the wave propagation on the surface due to the dynamic loadings, and the wave front singularities in the displacement components are particularly discussed. It is found that, for a given point on the half-space surface, Rayleigh surface waves issued from the nearest and farthest disturbances give rise to a jump or a two-sided logarithmic singularity in the displacement components.
