Download or read book Wave Propagation in Solid and Porous Half-Space Media written by Hamid R. Hamidzadeh and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers advanced topics in dynamic modeling of soil-foundation interaction, as well as the response of elastic semi-infinite media from an applications viewpoint. Advanced concepts such as solutions for analysis of elastic semi-infinite mediums, fluid motion in porous media, and nonlinearities in dynamic behavior are explained in great detail. Related theories and numerical analysis for vertical vibration, and rocking vibration of a rigid rectangular mass-less plate, and horizontal vibration of a rigid mass-less plate are presented. Throughout the book, a strong emphasis is placed on applications, and a laboratory model for elastic half-space medium is provided.
