The growing use of composite materials for aerospace applications has resulted in the need
for quantitative methods to analyze composite components. Ultrasonic guided waves …

Written for practicing engineers and students alike, this book emphasizes the role of finite
element modeling and simulation in the engineering design process. It provides the …

A calculation method has been produced for the propagation of vibration in the ground from
a stationary oscillating load applied via a railway track structure. The model includes the …

The effects of soil–structure interaction in yielding systems are evaluated, including both
kinematic and inertial interaction. The concepts developed previously for interacting elastic …

The determination of the natural modes of wave propagation in an anisotropic layered
medium requires the solution of a transcendental eigenvalue problem that is usually …

In this paper, an approach is presented to model the propagation of elastic waves and their
interaction with defects in plate structures. The formulation is based on the Scaled Boundary …

This contribution deals with the use of spectral analysis as a means of analysing the
dynamic behaviour of the axially symmetric multi-layered systems as a result of a transient …

On the basis of some simplifying assumptions, a parametric analysis is made of the
interaction effects on the effective period and dam** of structures with embedded …

In this work the interaction between adjacent rigid, surface foundations resting on a
viscoelastic layered soil medium is studied. A 3-D frequency domain BEM formulation in …

This paper explores the coupling of the perfectly matched layer technique (PML) with the
thin layer method (TLM), the combination of which allows making highly efficient and …
