Steady state responses of poroelastic half-space soil medium to a moving rectangular load

The dynamic steady state responses of a poroelastic half-space soil medium subjected to a moving rectangular load are investigated analytically/numerically. The full dynamic poroelastic theory of Biot is employed, under the assumption of an incompressible solid grain and neglecting the apparent mass density. Using the Fourier transform, the governing equations of motion are then reduced to a system of four coupled ordinary differential equations which are solved semi-analytically. Soil vertical displacements, accelerations and pore water pressures induced by moving load are calculated. Computed result shows that load velocity and intrinsic permeability of the soil medium shows an apparent effect on its dynamic responses and pore water pressures.     

A half-space saturated poro-elastic medium subjected to a moving point load

In this paper, an analytical solution for the dynamic response of a half-space porous medium subjected to a moving point load is derived. In the model, the displacements of the solid skeleton and the pore pressure are expressed in terms of two scalar potentials and one vectorial potential. Based on Biot’s theory, the frequency domain Holmholtz equations for the potentials are derived through the Fourier transformation with respect to time. The general solutions for the potentials are derived through the Fourier transformation with respect to the horizontal coordinates. Numerical results suggest that moving loads have very complicated effects on the dynamic response of the porous medium. Generally speaking, a moving load with a high speed will generate a larger response in the porous medium than a static or a lower speed load.     

列车荷载作用下黏弹性半空间体的随机动力响应Dynamic response of viscoelastic half-space subjected to train loads

针对列车荷载作用下黏弹性半空间体响应的问题,利用虚拟激励法将系统的随机分析转化为确定性分析。根据列车荷载构造了相应的虚拟激励形式,通过傅里叶积分变换法把半空间体控制方程转入波数‐频率域,并推导获得了系统虚拟响应的积分形式解。当相速度接近或大于瑞利波速时,积分形式解中被积函数往往具有奇异性和高振荡性,使得数值计算相当困难。对此,将被积函数图形化以确定函数的积分限,并通过自适应数值积分算法解决被积函数的振荡性。数值算例中,进行了随机列车荷载作用下半空间体的响应分析,讨论了荷载移动速度及频率等参数变化对响应的影响,给出了响应的时间和空间分布规律。本文方法可进一步推广至移动矩形荷载等载荷模型,对移动荷载作用下环境振动行为预测具有很好的借鉴意义。     

Dynamic effects of moving load on a poroelastic soil medium by an approximate method

The problem of the dynamic response of a fully saturated poroelastic soil stratum on bedrock subjected to a moving load is studied by using the theory of Mei and Foda under conditions of plane strain. The applied load is considered to be the sum of a large number of harmonics with varying frequency in the form of a Fourier expansion. The method of solution considers the total field to be approximated by the superposition of an elastodynamic problem with modified elastic constants and mass density for the whole domain and a diffusion problem for the pore fluid pressure confined to a boundary layer near the free surface of the medium. Both problems are solved analytically in the frequency domain. The effects of the shear modulus, permeability and porosity of the soil medium and the velocity of the moving load on the dynamic response of the soil layer are numerically evaluated and compared with those obtained by the exact solution of the problem. It is concluded that for fine poroelastic materials, the accuracy of the present method against the exact one is excellent.     

Response of a solid infinite cylinder embedded in a poroelastic medium and subjected to a lateral load

This paper presents an analytical solution for the response of a poroelastic medium around a laterally loaded rigid cylinder using Biot’s consolidation theory. A plane-strain section of the cylinder-porous medium system is considered and the problem is formulated in polar coordinates. Expressions for the pore fluid pressure, stresses and displacements in the Laplace domain are derived analytically. The inverse of the Laplace transform is evaluated numerically using an efficient scheme. Curves showing decay of the pore fluid pressure with time, the corresponding change in mean effective stress and the variation of displacement, are plotted in non-dimensional form.     

On permanent long-wave distortions of a railway track due to the moving vehicle load

Summary  The paper presents a simple mathematical model which describes the evolution of the vertical profile of a railway track caused by the load arising from moving vehicles. Owing to the fact that the track ballast is not perfectly elastic, each passage of a train is accompanied by a residual deformation of the ballast. Being very small, these deformations, however, accumulate with time. It is shown that an initial imperfection in the vertical profile of the track will either grow or diminish after each passage. For given track and vehicle, the rate of growth is determined by the characteristic length of the imperfection and by the velocity of the vehicle.

Stress analysis of borehole subjected to fluid injection in transversely isotropic poroelastic medium

This paper proposes an analytical solution, using the combined Laplace–Fourier integral transform technique, for a borehole drilled in transversely isotropic porous medium and subjected to a fluid discharge over a finite length of its surface. Especially, the coupled boundary condition between the total radial stress and injection-induced pore pressure at the borehole surface is addressed in a rigorous fashion, which leads essentially to a set of dual integral equations that can be solved through standard numerical procedure. The study focuses on the calculation of stress fields around the borehole with particular attention given to the time-dependent effective tangential stress and pore pressure distributions. Numerical solutions are presented for verification with those recently derived for the limiting case of an isotropic medium and, more importantly, to investigate the influences of material anisotropy on the stress responses of the borehole and porous medium.     

Analytical study of the dynamic response of an embedded railway track to a moving load

Summary In this paper, the steady-state dynamic response of an embedded railway track to a moving train is investigated theoretically. The model for the track consists of a flexible plate performing vertical vibrations, two beams that are connected to the plate by continuous visco-elastic elements and an elastic foundation that supports the plate. Two harmonic loads that move uniformly along the beams describe the train load. The plate, the beams and the elastic foundation are employed to model a concrete slab of an embedded track, the rails and the ground reaction, respectively. The problem is studied by employing the Fourier integral transforms in the following way. Firstly, the dispersion analysis of waves that may propagate along the system is accomplished in the frequency-wavenumber domain. On the basis of this analysis, critical velocities of the loads are found both for the in-phase and anti-phase vibrations of the loads. Secondly, the vertical displacement of the rails and the slab, along with the stresses in the slab, are investigated as functions of the velocity and frequency of the loads. Finally, the response of the two-dimensional model is compared to that of a simplified one-dimensional model.

Mode II stress intensity factors for a crack parallel to the surface of an elastic half-space subjected to a moving point load

The direction of propagation of rolling contact fatigue cracks is observed to depend upon the direction of motion of the load. In this paper approximate calculations are described of the variation of Mode II stress intensity factors at each tip of a subsurface crack, which lies parallel to the surface of an elastic half-space, due to a load moving over the surface. In particular the effect of frictional locking of the crack faces under the load is investigated. In consequence of frictional locking the range of SIF at the trailing tip ΔK_T is found to be about 30% greater than that of the leading tip ΔK_L, which is consistent with observations that subsurface cracks propagate predominantly in the direction of motion of the load over the surface. The effects on k_t and k_lof crack length, crack face friction, traction forces at the surface and residual shear stresses are also investigated.     

Effect of imperfect bonding on axisymmetric elastodynamic response of a lined circular tunnel in poroelastic soil due to a moving ring load

A two-dimensional elasticity analysis for steady-state axisymmetric dynamic response of an arbitrarily thick elastic homogeneous hollow cylinder of infinite length, which is imperfectly bonded to the surrounding fluid-saturated permeable formation, subject to an axially moving ring load, is presented. The problem solution is derived by using Biot’s dynamic theory of poroelasticity in conjunction with double Fourier transformation with respect to time (frequency) and axial coordinate (axial wave number). The analytical results are illustrated with numerical examples in which a concrete tunnel lining of uniform wall thickness is imperfectly bonded to a surrounding water-saturated poroelastic formation of soft/stiff frame characteristic. Numerical solutions for the radial shell mid-plane and formation displacements are calculated by analytical (numerical) inversion of the Fourier transformation with respect to the frequency (axial wave number). Primary attention is focused on the influence of bonding condition at the liner/soil interface, formation material type, and load velocity on the system’s dynamic response. Limiting cases are considered and good agreements with the solutions available in the literature are obtained.     

Dynamical investigation of railway vehicles on a curved track

The main objective of this article is an examination of railway vehicle dynamics during motion along a curved track. Two main aspects are presented in the paper. First, two different methods used while investigating multi-rigid body systems such as railway vehicles are discussed, i.e. the quasi-statical (or kineto-statical) and dynamical approaches. Second, two practical problems dealing with vehicle motion along a curved track are investigated. The problems under consideration refer to vibrations as well as stability, examined via finding obtained with the author's software as a result of numerical simulation. The work has both a practical and a cognitive character. The aim of the investigations is firstly to indicate the limitations of quasi-statical (and kineto-statical) methods and secondly to study the problems which cannot be treated by these methods. Two specific problems of the type investigated using a dynamical approach are the influence of track geometrical irregularities on the evaluation of vehicle ride properties and limit cycle occurrence during vehicle curve negotiation. Due to the renewed interest in the rapid passenger railway, the investigations take into consideration curves of large radii introduced along railway routes for increased velocities. Furthermore, it is shown under which conditions the obtained results may have an important practical application. This concerns the influence of vehicle suspension parameters as well as conditions of motion (speed, superelevation, curve radius, transition curve existence) on limit cycle occurrence. The limited value of conclusions dealing with vehicle ride properties obtained while using quasi-statical (kineto-statical) methods is proved through quantitative analysis. The problem of the influence of geometrical irregularities on wheel-rail pair wear is also pointed out.     

Dynamic displacements of an infinite beam on a poroelastic half space due to a moving oscillating load

This investigation is concerned with the dynamic displacements of a beam on a poroelastic half space under a periodic oscillating load of constant velocity. The governing equations for the proposed analysis are solved using Fourier transform. The expression for the vertical displacement is obtained according to the contact condition between a beam and a half space. The effects of the moving velocity and vibration frequency of the load on the dynamic displacement are considered in the numerical examples. The results show that the load velocity has significant influence on dynamic displacement. It is also noted that large differences exist between the dynamic responses for a beam on a poroelastic half space and on an elastic half space when the load velocity is larger than the shear wave speed of the medium. The reported work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Project No. 10372073).

Effects of irregularity and initial stresses on the dynamic response of viscoelastic half-space due to a moving load

The present article deals with the stresses developed in an initially stressed irregular viscoelastic half-space due to a load moving with a constant velocity at a rough free surface.Expressions for normal and shear stresses are obtained in closed form. The substantial effects of influence parameters, viz., depth(from the free surface), irregularity factor, maximum depth of irregularity, viscoelastic parameter, horizontal and vertical initial stresses,and frictional coefficient, on normal and shear stresses are investigated. Moreover, comparative study is carried out for three different cases of irregularity, viz., rectangular irregularity,parabolic irregularity and no irregularity, which is manifested through graphs.     

Effect of irregularity and heterogeneity on the stresses produced due to a normal moving load on a rough monoclinic half-space

The present study aims to study the normal and shear stresses produced in a rough irregular heterogeneous monoclinic half-space due to a normal moving load. Closed form expressions of normal and shear stresses have been obtained. It is observed that both normal stress and shear stress are affected not only by depth, the frictional coefficient on a rough surface, and the maximum depth of irregularity but also by the heterogeneity and types of irregularity in the medium. The comparative study has been made to analyze the effect of different types of irregularity on both the stresses. There is a significant effect of depth, frictional coefficient, heterogeneity, maximum depth of irregularity and irregularity factor on the normal and shear stresses in both heterogeneous monoclinic and heterogeneous isotropic medium. A comparison is made to study the effects of the said parameters on the normal and shear stress produced in both heterogeneous medium. These effects are highlighted and depicted by means of graphs. As a special case of the problem, the stress produced due to normal moving load in an isotropic half-space with and without heterogeneity, irregularity has been discussed.
