Abstract An approximate solution is presented for the surface ground motion on a class of alluvial valleys under incident SH waves. It is based on the existence of a complete family of rays supported by the basin's boundaries. It is approximate, as diffraction is neglected. This method is developed initially for rigid bases and extended to consider deformable boundary and arbitrary incidence angles. Comparison of results with a more rigorous solution shows very good agreement at a much lower computational effort. Time domain results are presented for different property contrasts and incidence angles. The method is suited to study time domain resonse of a family of alluvial deposits, due to its low cost and practically no upper frequency limit.

An advanced direct half-plane time-domain boundary element method (BEM) was applied to obtain the seismic response of a linear elastic irregular surface including periodically distributed semi-sine shaped valleys subjected to propagating obliquely incident plane SH waves. After developing the method for complex multiple surface topographies, some verification examples were solved and compared with those of the published works. Then, the transient response of a rough surface with 2–16 semi-sine shaped valleys was determined as synthetic seismograms. In this regard, the depth ratio of the valleys was sensitized. Finally, amplification patterns of the surface were presented in some cases. The results showed that the method was able to analyze the multipart models in the time-domain. Moreover, the response of the sinusoidal corrugated surfaces was very effective against seismic waves in forming different patterns. The method was recommended to researchers for transient analysis of complex engineering structures and composite materials in nanoscale.

The dispersion behaviors of SH waves are investigated propagating in a layered structure consisting of a piezoelectric layer and an elastic cylinder. The interface between the piezoelectric layer and the elastic cylinder is assumed to be imperfect bonding. The surface of the piezoelectric layer is assumed to be mechanically free and electrically shorted. The dispersion equation is derived by the basic equations, the boundary and the interface conditions. The numerical examples are provided to show the influences of the imperfect interface, the thickness ratios and the material properties of the piezoelectric on the dispersive characteristics.
