Circular Load

The paper examines the elastic fields of displacements and stresses for a nonhomogeneous elastic half-space where the elastic parameters have a linear variation over a finite depth beyond which it is constant. The circular loading area is subjected to a uniform inclined load. The numerical method is developed by applying the fundamental solution of a layered elastic solid and integrating numerically it over the loading area. As a result, only the loading area needs to be discretized in using the proposed numerical method. Numerical examples of calculation of displacements are conducted, and excellent agreement with the existing closed-form solutions is obtained. The results obtained are used to understand the elastic fields induced by different types of loads in a nonhomogeneous medium.

Thermoelastic Response

Thermoelastic response due to a line heat source is analog to poroelastic reaction caused by a fluid line sink. In this study, the strata are modeled as a thermoelastic or poroelastic half space bounded by horizontal surface in the mathematical model. Thermomechanics and poromechanics are applied on the formulation of basic governing equations, and an analogy is drawn to show the similarity. Using Hankel transform technique and approaching symbolic integral through Mathematica, the closed-form solutions of the horizontal and vertical displacements due to a fluid line sink are obtained. The displacements produced by the line heat source are described through analog quantities between thermoelasticity and poroelasticity. The solutions can be applied to dewater operations and build waste repository.

Torsional Surface Waves

AbstractThe present paper deals with the mathematical modeling of the propagation of torsional surface waves in a non-homogeneous transverse isotropic elastic half-space under a rigid layer. Both rigidities and density of the half-space are assumed to vary inversely linearly with depth. Separation of variable method has been used to get the analytical solutions for the dispersion equation of the torsional surface waves. Also, the effects of nonhomogeneities on the phase velocity of torsional surface waves have been shown graphically. Also, dispersion equations have been derived for some particular cases, which are in complete agreement with some classical results.

Stress And Displacement Fields

The stress and displacement fields are determined in an elastic half space loaded by a rectangular frictionless, rigid block normally at its surface. The semi-infinite solid is considered to be an elastic solid with nonlocal interatomic interaction. The field equations of the nonlocal elasticity and boundary conditions are employed to treat this contact problem. Interestingly the classical stress singularity at the edges of the block are not present in the nonlocal solutions. Consequently the critical applied load for the initiation of penetration of the rigid cylinder into the semi-infinite solid can be determined without recourse to any criterion foreign to the theory. The stress field obtained is valid even for penetrators of submicroscopic width.

Acoustic Fluid

A class of dynamic problems involving a semi-infinite elastic solid with an overlying semi-infinite acoustic fluid, subjected at the plane interface to arbitrary normal loading is investigated. A method of solution is proposed which reduces the class of problems under study to that in which the fluid is absent. This latter class has received considerable consideration in the past. A specific example is presented for an expanding disk-shaped load including numerical results for the subseismic range.

Velocity Effect

The problem of a uniformly moving circular surface load of a general orientation on an elastic half space for two types of load distribution, viz., “uniform” and “hemispherical,” is considered. The solutions have been obtained in integral form. The displacements on the surface of the half space, in the case in which the load velocity V is smaller than the transverse wave velocity of the medium CT are expressed in a closed form as a sum of two terms by using properties of Gauss’ hypergeometric functions. One of these terms gives the static part of the solution, whereas the other term represents the velocity effect part. At distances greater than about five radii from the center of the moving circular load, a moving point load is found to be a good approximation.

The Mathematical Model

The study derives the closed-form solutions of the long-term elastic consolidation subjected to the fluid line sink in a homogeneous isotropic elastic half space aquifer. The Hankel transform in a cylindrical coordinate system is employed to develop the analytical elastic solutions. Derivations of governing equations are based on the mathematical model of Biots theory of poro-mechanics, and the half space aquifer is modelled as a saturated porous stratum which is bounded by a horizontal surface. The total stresses of the aquifer obey Newtons second law and Hookes law. Besides, the mass conservation and Darcys law are introduced to formulate the governing equations of pore fluid flow. The software Mathematica is used to complete the symbolic integrations and obtain the closed-form solutions. The solutions can be applied in dewatering operations of compressible aquifer.

Tube Segment

The analysis of the bond stress of a thick-walled tube embedded at the surface of an elastic, isotropic, semi-infinite medium is presented. The condition of three-dimensional compatibility between the tube and the anchorage medium is taken into account. An equilibrium equation for a segment of an embedded tube is derived, from which bond stresses acting on the tube can be computed. The general solution obtained relates to the vector function for a uniform lineal load acting perpendicularly to the surface of an elastic half-space. The solution is in agreement with equations derived independently for cases of one-dimensional (lineal) compatibility. The equation of equilibrium derived for a tube segment embedded at the surface of an elastic half-space is transformed to a form suitable for solving the bond stresses of a tube anchorage embedded at some distance from the surface. A numerical solution of bond stresses obtained by elastic analysis is compared to the bond stress curve along the anchorage obtained experimentally.
