The isolation of the vibration due to a harmonic vertical load using pile rows embedded in a saturated poroelastic half-space is investigated in this study. Using the fundamental solution for a circular patch load and Muki’s method, the second kind of Fredholm integral equations describing the dynamical interaction between the pile rows and the saturated poroelastic half-space are obtained. Numerical solution of the integral equations yields the dynamic response of the pile-half-space system. The vibration isolation effect of the pile rows is investigated via the proposed semi-analytical model. Numerical results indicate that stiffer piles have better isolation vibration effect than flexible piles. Moreover, the pile length and the spacing between neighboring piles in one pile row have significant influence on the isolation vibration effect of pile rows, while the influence of the spacing between neighboring pile rows is relatively smaller.

The isolation of the vibration due to a harmonic vertical load using pile rows embedded in a layered poroelastic half-space is investigated in this study. Based on Biot’s theory, the frequency domain fundamental solution for a vertical circular patch load applied in a layered poroelastic half-space is derived via the transmission and reflection matrices (TRM) method. Utilizing Muki and Sternberg’s method, the second kind of Fredholm integral equations describing the dynamic interaction between the pile rows and the layered poroelastic half-space subjected to a harmonic vertical load is constructed. The isolation effect of piles rows for the vibration due to the harmonic vertical load is investigated via numerical solution of the integral equations. Numerical results of this study show that a stiffer upper layer overlying a softer bottom half-space will worsen the vibration isolation effect of pile rows and vice versa. Also, pile rows with large length are preferable for a better vibration isolation effect.

The investigation is concerned with some of the effects of embedded flaws in an elastic half space subjected to torsional deformations. Specifically two types of flaws are considered: (a) a penny-shaped rigid inclusion, and (b) a penny-shaped crack. In each case the problem is reduced to a system of Fredholm integral equations. Graphical displays of the numerical results are included.

The paper considers the elastic layer which is pressed against a half space by loads that are not necessarily symmetric about the center of the loaded region. It is shown that the receding contact between the two bodies can be treated by means of superposition, leading to two homogeneous Fredholm integral equations for auxiliary functions that are directly related to the contact tractions. The determination of the extent of contact and the shift between the load and contact intervals can be viewed as an eigenvalue problem of the homogeneous integral equations. Specific numerical results are given for two types of triangular loads, and a comparison is made with certain symmetric loads.

More and more huge embedded foundations are used in large-span bridges, such as caisson foundations and anchorage open caisson foundations. Most of the embedded foundations are undergoing horizontal vibration forces, that is, wind and wave forces or other types of dynamic forces. The embedded foundations are regarded as rigid due to its high stiffness and small deformation during the forcing process. The performance of a rigid, massive, cylindrical foundation embedded in a poroelastic half-space is investigated by an analytical method developed in this paper. The mixed boundary problem is solved by reducing the dual integral equations to a pair of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The numerical results are compared with existing solutions in order to assess the accuracy of the presented method. To further demonstrate the applicability of this method, parametric studies are performed to evaluate the dynamic response of the embedded foundation under horizontal vibration. The horizontal dynamic impedance and response factor of the embedded foundation are examined based on different embedment ratio, foundation mass ratio, relative stiffness, and poroelastic material properties versus nondimensional frequency. The results of this study can be adapted to investigate the horizontal vibration responses of a foundation embedded in poroelastic half-space.

Based on Biot’s theory and integral transform method, the velocity of moving loads impact on the vibration isolation effect of pile rows embedded in a poroelastic half space is investigated in this study. The free field solution for a moving load applied on the surface of a poroelastic half space and the fundamental solution for a harmonic circular patch load applied in the poroelastic half space are derived first. Using Muki’s method and the fundamental solution for the circular patch load as well as the obtained free field solution for the moving load, the second kind of Fredholm integral equation in the frequency domain describing the dynamic interaction between pile rows and the poroelastic half space is developed. Numerical solution of the frequency domain integral equation and numerical inversion of the Fourier transform yield the time domain response of the pile-soil system. Numerical results of this study show that the same pile rows can achieve a better vibration isolation effect for the lower load speed than for the higher speed. Also, the optimal length of piles for higher speed moving loads is shorter than that for lower speed moving loads.

The dynamic response of a pile group embedded in a layered poroelastic half space subjected to axial harmonic loads is investigated in this study. Based on Biot's theory and utilizing Muki's method, the second kind of Fredholm integral equations describing the dynamic interaction between the layered half space and the pile group is constructed. Numerical results show that in a two-layered half space, for the closely populated pile group with a rigid cap, the upper softer layer thickness has considerably different influence on the center pile and the corner piles, while for sparsely populated pile group, it has almost the same influence on all the piles.

The proposed methodology was validated by comparing the results of this paper with a known result. Numerical results show that in a two-layered half-space, for the closely populated pile group with a rigid cap, the upper softer layer thickness has different influences on the central pile and the corner piles, while for the sparse pile group, it has almost the same influence on all the piles. For a three-layer half-space, the presence of a stiffer middle layer in the layered half-space will enhance the impedance of the pile group significantly, while a softer middle layer will reduce the impedance of the pile group.

The diffraction of harmonic waves by a movable rigid strip bonded to the surface of an elastic half space is divided into two more fundamental problems, the diffraction of waves by a fixed strip and the forced motion of an inertialess strip. These problems are formulated in terms of a pair of coupled Fredholm integral equations of the first kind. An approximate solution for the resultant loads acting on the strip is obtained using the Bubnov-Galerkin method. These loads provide a simple means of studying the excited motion of a movable strip having a variety of inertia properties.

Vibration dampers are installed on the machine foundations in order to reduce the vibration level. Such technological solutions are most expedient in the case of a harmonic load with a low instability of the vibration frequency. Unfortunately, dampers do not provide such a large reduction in the dynamic effect on the base, as vibration isolation, but in some cases their efficiency turns out to be quite sufficient with a relatively simple implementation and low manufacturing cost. The use of dynamic vibration dampers gives a great effect when an increased vibration of foundations occurs during the operation of equipment in metallurgical production, for example, when processing materials by pressure, reconstructing enterprises and replacing heavy equipment. During the operation of heavy forging equipment and manipulators for various purposes, the foundations of these devices can be considered as a rigid body. The model soil on which this foundation is installed can be considered a homogeneous elastic isotropic half-space. When calculating with such mathematical models, one can use solutions of the corresponding dynamic contact problems. A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of damping foundation vibrations using different foundation models, including the model of an elastic, homogeneous half-space and a system of semi-infinite rods, the modulus of elasticity of which increases with depth according to the quadratic law, shows a fairly close agreement.
