This paper provides a dynamic analysis of the response of a subsurface cylindrical tunnel to SH waves influenced by a neighboring semi-cylindrical hill and semi-cylindrical canyon in half-space using complex functions. For convenience in finding a solution, the half-space is divided into two parts and the scattered wave functions are constructed in both parts. Then the mixed boundary conditions are satisfied by moving coordinates. Finally, the problem is reduced to solving a set of infinite linear algebraic equations, for which the unknown coefficients are obtained by truncation of the infinite set of equations. The effects of the incident angles and frequencies of SH waves, as well as of the radius of the tunnel, hill, and canyon on the dynamic stress concentration of the tunnel are studied. The results show that the hill and canyon have a significant effect on the dynamic stress concentration of the tunnel.

The methods of Green's function, complex function and multi-polar coordinates are applied here to report interaction of an elliptical inclusion and a crack in half-space under incident SH-waves. Based on the symmetry of SH-waves scattering, the "conformal mapping" technology was developed to construct a suitable Green's function, a fundamental solution to the displacement field for the elastic half space containing elliptical inclusion while bearing out-plane line source load at arbitrary point, for creating a beeline crack with arbitrary length at any position combined with crack-division technology. The displacement field and stress field were then deduced while the inclusion coexists with the crack Lastly, numerical examples are presented to discuss the dependence of dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) around the elastic inclusion on different parameters.

This paper presents a closed-form analytical solution for the dynamic response of two independent SDOF oscillators standing on one flexible foundation embedded in an elastic half-space and excited by plane SH waves. The solution is obtained by the wave function expansion method and is verified by comparison with the results of the special cases of a rigid foundation and the published research result of a flexible foundation. The model is utilized to investigate how the foundation stiffness influences the system response. The results show that there will be a significant interaction between the two independent structures on one flexible foundation and the intensity of the interaction is mainly dependent on foundation stiffness and structural stiffness. For a system with more flexible foundation, strong interaction will exist between the two structures; larger structural stiffness will also lead to a strong interaction between the two structures. When the structural mass and the structural stiffness are all larger, the flexible foundation cannot be treated as a rigid foundation even if the foundation stiffness is many times larger than that of soil. This model may be useful to get insight into the effects of foundation flexibility on the interaction of two independent structures standing on one flexible foundation.

ABSTRACTComplex method and Green's function method are used here to investigate the dynamic analysis for circular inclusion near interfacial crack impacted by SH-wave in bi-material half-space. Firstly, the displacement expression of the scattering wave was constructed which satisfied the free boundary conditions, then Green's function could be constructed, which was an essential solution to the displacement field for an elastic right-angle space with a circular inclusion impacted by out-plane harmonic line source loading at vertical surface. Secondly, crack was made out with “crack-division” technique. Meanwhile, the bi-material media was divided into two parts along the bi-material interface based on the idea of interface “conjunction”, and then the vertical surfaces of the two right-angle spaces were loaded with undetermined anti-plane forces in order to satisfy displacement continuity and stress continuity conditions at linking section. So a series of algebraic equations for determining the unknown forces could be set up through continuity conditions and the Green's function. Finally, some examples and results for dynamic stress concentration factor of the circular elastic inclusion were given. Numerical results show that they are influenced by interfacial crack, the incident wave number and the free boundary in some degree.
