Deflection of an elastic plate on a viscoelastic foundation under the influence of a variable temperature field

Summary In this research the differential equation governing the deflection of an elastic plate on a viscoelastic foundation, where the foundation is under the influence of a variable temperature field, has been obtained. The relaxation moduli and creep compliances are considered to be temperature-dependent. The discussion has been illustrated with a particular case of a temperature field.

Analysis of wave propagation in a plate resting on a Winkler foundation with a sample application to vibration control

A variational statement in the field of complex numbers and its semi-analytical solution are presented to study the wave propagation in plates resting on a Winkler foundation. The method and its computer program are verified by comparison with the available results for a freely supported plate and performing a time domain analysis for a plate-Winkler foundation system. A variety of wave propagation phenomena is observed, and useful information can be extracted from the results. The foundation is found to act as a low frequency band-stop filter for flexural modes, and a stiffer foundation leads to wider widths of these stop bands. As a sample application, a barrier design for controlling flexural motions in the system is proposed. The effectiveness of the design is also demonstrated.     

The dynamics of a rigid foundation on the surface of an elastic half-space

The response of a rigid rectangular foundation block resting on an elastic half-space has been determined by considering first the displacement functions for any position on the surface of an unloaded half-space due to a harmonic point force. The influence of the foundation has been taken into account by assuming a relaxed condition at the interface, i.e. a uniform displacement under the foundation and that the sum of the point forces must equal the total applied force. The three motions of vertical, horizontal and rocking have been considered and numerical values for the in-phase and the quadrature components of the displacement functions are presented for a Poisson's ratio of 0.25. The effect of the mass and inertia of the foundation can be allowed for by an impedance matching technique. Response curves and non-dimensional resonant frequency curves are given for a square and a rectangular foundation for different mass and inertia ratios and for several values of Poisson's ratio. These curves are for design purposes and are an addition to similar published curves for circular and infinitely long rectangular foundations. Some of the calculated results have been verified by a laboratory experiment.     

Dynamic analysis of a beam resting on an elastic half-space with inertial properties

This work gives a semi-analytical approach for the dynamic analysis of beams and plates resting on an elastic half-space with inertial properties. Such calculations have been associated with significant mathematical challenges, often leading to unrealizable computing processes. Therefore, this paper presents a detailed analysis of Green's function defining surface displacements of such a space in the contact zone with structures, which allows determination of reactive forces and other physical magnitudes. The obtained solutions can be applied to (i) study dynamic interaction between soil and structures, (ii) determine transient wave fields caused by a seismic source, and (iii) assess numerical computations with different numerical methods programs. Natural frequencies, natural shapes, and the dynamic response of a beam due to external harmonic excitation are determined. Eigenfrequencies and Eigenshapes are presented. Validation with a Boussinesq problem illustrates the inertia effect on the results of the dynamic analysis.     

Transient flexural vibrations of an elastic column supported by an elastic half-space

An analysis is presented of the transient flexural vibrations of an elastic column supported by an elastic half-space under the condition that an arbitrarily shaped free-field lateral acceleration and displacement are given as inputs. Applying Laplace transformations with respect to time and numerical inverse Laplace transformations, the time histories of the column acceleration at the interface and free end, and the column and half-space displacement distributions are obtained. After the input free-field acceleration terminates, slightly damped and almost harmonically variable acceleration is observed. The acceleration frequency after the disappearance of the input acceleration nearly coincides with the resonant frequency of the system. The slight damping with the first resonant frequency, even if the half-space is soft compared with the column, is characteristic of the transient flexural vibrations of a column supported by a half-space. Such a phenomenon is not typical of the transient longitudinal vibration problem. Therefore, it may be concluded: when buildings and structures are subjected to an earthquake or an explosive force, their flexural vibrations will continue with their first resonant frequencies, even if their foundations are soft.     

Exact dynamic member stiffnesses for a beam on an elastic foundation

This paper gives exact Bernoulli–Euler dynamic flexural member equations for a uniform beam on an elastic foundation. These enable exact results to be obtained when the beam is included in free or sinusoidally forced vibration calculations for a plane or space frame, at any frequency. In addition, information is presented to ensure that no natural frequencies are missed in a free vibration analysis.     

Dynamic response of flexible rectangular foundations on an elastic half-space

An approximate method for the analysis of the dynamic interaction between a flexible rectangular foundation and the soil with consideration of the out-of-plane deformation of the foundation is presented. The procedure is based on an extension of the subdivision method developed by Wong and Luco for rigid foundations. Numerical results describing the influence of the flexibility of the foundation on the vertical and rocking impedance functions and on the contact stresses between the foundation and the soil are presented. The possibility of representing a flexible foundation by an equivalent rigid foundation having the same force-displacement relationships is also discussed. The results obtained indicate that at low frequencies, the dynamic stiffness coefficients for flexible foundations are lower than those for a rigid foundation of the same area. At higher frequencies the opposite behaviour is observed. The radiation damping coefficients for flexible foundations are significantly lower than those for a rigid foundation of the same area.     

Buckling and vibration analysis of flexible beams resting on an elastic half-space

The present paper deals with the buckling and vibration of prismatic beams resting on an elastic half-space. The computational procedure developed herein utilizes the advantages of both an analytical approach and a finite element scheme. This is accomplished by deriving exact frequency and axial force dependent stiffness matrices using the analytical solutions of the governing differential equation as ‘shape functions’. The major advantages of the proposed approach over previous ones are pointed out and discussed in detail. Numerical results demonstrating the performance of the proposed method are presented in the final part of the paper.     

Transient flexural vibrations of a timoshenko column supported by an elastic half-space

Transient flexural vibrations of an elastic column supported by an elastic half-space are investigated analytically under the condition that an arbitrarily shaped free-field lateral acceleration is given as an input. Applying the Timoshenko theory to the column and making use of Laplace transformations with respect to time and numerical inverse Laplace transformations, the time histories of the column free end acceleration are presented. Numerical results obtained from the Timoshenko theory are compared with those of a previous paper¹ (applying the Bernoulli-Euler theory to the column), and the effects of column slenderness and foundation stiffness on the transient flexural vibrations of the column are clarified.     

Axisymmetric vibration of an elastic circular plate bonded on a transversely isotropic multilayered half-space

Based on the analytical layer-element method, an analytical solution is proposed to determine the dynamic interaction between the elastic circular plate and transversely isotropic multilayered half-space. The dynamic response of the elastic circular plate is governed by the classical thin-plate theory with the assumption that the contact surface between the plate and soil is frictionless. The total stiffness matrix of the transversely isotropic multilayered half-space is acquired by assembling the analytical layer-element of each soil layer with the aid of the continuity conditions between adjacent layers. According to the displacement condition of coordination between the plate and soil, the dynamic interaction problem is reduced to that of multilayered transversely isotropic half-space subjected to axisymmetric harmonic vertical loading. Some numerical examples are given to study the vertical vibration of the plate, and the results indicate that the dynamic response of elastic circular plate depends strongly on the material properties of the soils, the rigidity of the plate, the frequency of excitation and the external load form.

Response of a circular foundation on a uniform half-space to elastic waves

An alternative technique to obtain the dynamic response of a massless rigid circular foundation resting on a uniform elastic half-space when subjected to harmonic plane waves is presented. The technique relies on the use of an integral representation involving the free-field ground motion and the contact tractions obtained in the course of calculating the dynamic force–displacement relationship of the foundation for external forces. Tables listing the translational and rotational components of the response of the foundation for non-vertically incident SH, P, SV and Rayleigh waves are presented.
