In this paper, an advanced formulation of the time-domain, two-dimensional hybrid finite element–boundary element method (FEM/BEM) is presented, and applied to carry out site response analysis of homogeneous and non-homogeneous topographic structures subjected to incident in-plane motions. Seismic responses of half-plane, horizontally layered site, alluvial valley and ridge sections subjected to incident P and SV waves are analyzed in order to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the presented method. The numerical results show that hybrid BE/FE methods require smaller time steps than those needed by BEM schemes. They also show that in case of surface irregularities with height to half-width ratio of up to one, the topography effect could be noticeable, if incident waves have wavelengths of less than approximately eight times the width. 相似文献

Elastic one-return boundary element method and hybrid elastic thin-slab propagator for strong-contrast media with sharp boundaries 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 In this paper, we developed the theory and algorithm of an elastic one-way boundary element method(BEM) and a corresponding hybrid elastic thin-slab propagator for earth media with sharp boundaries between strong contrast media. This approach can takes the advantage of accurate boundary condition of BEM and completely overcomes the weak contrast limitation of the perturbationtheory based one-way operator approach. The one-way BEM is a smooth boundary approximation, which avoids huge matrix operations in exact full BEM. In addition, the one-way BEM can model the primary-only transmitted and reflected waves and therefore is a valuable tool in elastic imaging and inversion. Through numerical tests for some simple models,we proved the validity and efficiency of the proposed method. 相似文献

The best estimate method (BEM), which shifts an object event towards the centroid of the events within its location uncertainty, was originally proposed to clarify the pattern of seismicity distribution. It was later widely applied to constrain the location and geometry of seismogenic structures. The goal of this study is to improve the efficiency, robustness and effectiveness of the BEM. We perform a series of synthetic experiments by generating a three-dimensional (3D) event dataset representing complex tectonic features and perturbing the presumed hypocenter locations. The synthetic experiments show that appropriate expression for the location uncertainty of the object event and restrictive thresholds of the event selection can significantly improve the collapsing seismicity image. We also demonstrate that the performance of our revised BEM (RBEM) is better than that of the original BEM. We then apply our RBEM to the seismicity catalog for the Taiwan region, collapsing the diffusive catalog hypocenters into sharp images of seismicity. Our RBEM result delineates a clearer low-seismicity zone in central Taiwan and a wider separation between the Wadati–Benioff double seismic layers in northeastern Taiwan than the corresponding features in either the catalog seismicity or the 3D relocation seismicity. Because of the simplicity and efficiency of the RBEM, it is perfectly suited to delineate the location and geometry of active faults in routine operations. 相似文献

Evaluation of the sound-structure interaction is important for effective control of noise and vibration in structural acoustic systems. Cracked elastic structure-sound interaction problems are studied by employing the hybrid fractal FEM and BEM. The degrees of freedom of the system can be reduced greatly through adopting fractal FEM in discretizing the cracked elastic structure; while the exterior acoustic field is calculated by BEM, which automatically satisfies Sommerfeld‘s radiation condition. Numerical examples are given and show that the resonant frequencies of the structure-acoustic coupled system decrease as the depth of the crack increases, and that the crack has a significant effect on the acoustical field in the vicinity of the crack tip. 相似文献

A direct boundary element procedure is presented to determine the impedance matrix for a three-dimensional foundation supported on an infinitely-long canyon of uniform cross-section cut in a homogeneous half-space. The uniform cross-section of the canyon permits analytical integration along the canyon axis leading to a series of two-dimensional boundary problems involving Fourier transforms of the full-space Green's functions. Solution of these two-dimensional boundary problems leads to a dynamic flexibility influence matrix which is inverted to determine the impedance matrix. The accuracy of the procedure is demonstrated by comparison with previous solutions for a surface-supported, square foundation and results obtained by a three-dimensional boundary element method (BEM) for a foundation of finite-width supported on an infinitely-long canyon. Compared with the three-dimensional BEM, the present method requires less computer storage and is more accurate and efficient. The foundation impedance matrix determined by this procedure can be incorporated in a substructure method for earthquake analysis of arch dams. 相似文献

Time-history responses on the surface by regularly distributed enormous embedded cavities:Incident SH-waves 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 The time-history responses of the surface were obtained for a linear elastic half-plane including regularly distributed enormous embedded circular cavities subjected to propagating obliquely incident plane SH-waves. An advanced numerical approach named half-plane time-domain boundary element method(BEM), which only located the meshes around the cavities, was used to create the model. By establishing the modified boundary integral equation(BIE)independently for each cavity and forming the matrices, the final coupled equation was solved step-by-step in the timedomain to obtain the boundary values. The responses were developed for a half-plane with 512 cavities. The amplification patterns were also obtained to illustrate the frequencydomain responses for some cases. According to the results,the presence of enormous cavities affects the scattering and diffraction of the waves arrived to the surface. The introduced method can be recommended for geotechnical/mechanical engineers to model structures in the fields of earthquake engineering and composite materials. 相似文献

This work investigates the impact of deep coal mining induced vibrations on surface constructions using numerical tools. An experimental study of the geological site amplification and of its influence on mining induced vibrations has already been published in the previous paper (Part 1: Experimental evidence for site effects in a coal basin). Measurements have shown the existence of an amplification area in the southern part of the basin where drilling data have shown the presence of particularly fractured and soft stratigraphic units. The present study, using the boundary element method (BEM) in the frequency domain, first investigates canonical geological structures in order to get general results for various sites. The amplification level at the surface is given as a function of the shape of the basin and of the velocity contrast with the bedrock. Next, the particular coal basin previously studied experimentally (Driad-Lebeau et al. [1]) is modeled numerically by BEM. The amplification phenomena characterized numerically for the induced vibrations are found to be compatible with the experimental findings such as: amplification level, frequency range and location. Finally, the whole work was necessary to fully assess the propagation and amplification of mine induced vibrations. The numerical results quantifying amplification can also be used to study other coal basins or various types of alluvial sites. 相似文献

A study on the dynamic response of a railway track is presented via a 3-D formulation based on the frequency domain Boundary Element Method (BEM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The railway track consists of a group of surface, massive, rigid footings resting on a viscoelastic half-space and connected by an overlaying rail structure. The BEM, employing the full-space fundamental solutions and quadrilateral elements, is used for the simulation of the elastic half-space while the FEM is used to model the rigid footings and the rail superstructure. The loading function consists of a set of externally applied, harmonic or transient loads. Frequency as well as transient, by way of FFT, results are presented for various modes of vibration. Various numerical studies assess the through-the-soil interaction of the adjacent footings, the influence of soil damping, the effect of the overlaying structure on the frequency content of the system, and the effective simulation of an infinitely long railway track by a truncated one. 相似文献

A study on the seismic response of massive flexible strip-foundations embedded in layered soils and subjected to seismic excitation is presented. Emphasis is placed on the investigation of the system response with the aid of a boundary element–finite element formulation proper for the treatment of such soil–structure interaction problems. In the formulation, the boundary element method (BEM) is employed to overcome the difficulties that arise from modeling the infinite soil domain, and the finite element method (FEM) is applied to model the embedded massive flexible strip-foundation. The numerical solution for the soil–foundation system is obtained by coupling the FEM with the BEM through compatibility and equilibrium conditions at the soil–foundation and soil layer interfaces. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effects of foundation stiffness and embedment on the seismic response. 相似文献

A variationally coupled BEM–FEM is developed which can be used to analyse dynamic response, including free-surface sloshing motion, of 3-D rectangular liquid storage tanks subjected to horizontal ground excitation. The tank structure is modelled by the finite element method and the fluid region by the indirect boundary element method. By minimizing a single Lagrange function defined for the entire system, the governing equation with symmetric coefficient matrices is obtained. To verify the newly developed method, the analysis results are compared with the shaking-table test data of a 3-D rectangular tank model and with the solutions by the direct BEM–FEM. Analytical studies are conducted on the dynamic behaviour of 3-D rectangular tanks using the method developed. In particular, the characteristics of the sloshing response, the effect of the rigidity of adjacent walls on the dynamic response of the tanks and the orthogonal effects are investigated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A coupled model is developed to investigate the dynamic interaction between an offshore pile, a porous seabed and seawater when subjected to the pseudo-Stoneley wave along the seabed and the seawater interface. The pile and the seabed are treated as the porous medium governed by Biot's theory, while the seawater is considered as an acoustic medium and is described by the conventional Helmholtz equation. The free field solution of the incident pseudo-Stoneley wave is obtained using Biot's theory and the potential method. Based on the boundary element method (BEM) for the porous medium and the acoustic medium, three BEM formulations are constructed for the pile, the seabed and the seawater, respectively, which are combined together using the continuity conditions between the pile, the seabed and the seawater to formulate the coupled model for the system. As shown in numerical examples, when the system is subjected to the pseudo-Stoneley wave, the maximum pore pressure of the seabed usually occurs at the region near the interfaces between the seabed and the seawater. 相似文献

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of an advanced beam model for the soil–pile–structure kinematic and inertial interaction and demonstrate its efficiency and advantages compared to other commonly used beam or solid models. Within this context, a Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation model is adopted based on the Boundary Element Method (BEM), accounting for the effects induced by geometrical nonlinearity, rotary inertia and shear deformation, employing the concept of shear deformation coefficients. The soil nonlinearity is taken into consideration by means of a hybrid spring configuration consisting of a nonlinear (p–y) spring connected in series to an elastic spring–damper model. The nonlinear spring captures the near-field plastification of the soil while the spring–damper system (Kelvin–Voigt element) represents the far-field viscoelastic character of the soil. An extensive case study is carried out on a pile-column–deck system of a bridge, found in two cohesive layers of sharply different stiffness and subjected to various earthquake excitations, providing insight to several phenomena. The results of the proposed model are compared with those obtained from a Beam-FE solution as well as from a rigorous fully three-dimensional (3-D) continuum FE scheme. 相似文献

A study of soil–structure–fluid interaction (SSFI) of a lock system subjected to harmonic seismic excitation is presented. The water contained lock is embedded in layered soils supported by a half-space bedrock. The ground excitation is prescribed at the soil–bedrock interface. The response is numerically obtained through a hybrid boundary element (BEM) finite element method (FEM) formulation. The semi-infinite soil and the fluid are modeled by the BEM and the lock is modeled by the FEM. The equilibrium equation for the lock system is obtained by enforcing compatibility and equilibrium conditions at the fluid–structure, soil–structure and soil–layer interfaces under conditions of plane strain. To the authors’ knowledge this is the first study of a lock system that considers the effects of dynamic soil–fluid–structure interaction through a BEM–FEM methodology. A numerical example and parametric studies are presented to examine the effects of the presence of water, lock stiffness, and lock embedment on the response. 相似文献

A study on the dynamic characteristics of rigid foundations with special geometries such as square or circular with concentric internal holes, is presented. The foundations are resting on a homogeneous, linear elastic halfspace and are subjected to external forces or seismic wave excitation. Both ‘relaxed’ and ‘non-relaxed’ boundary conditions at the interface between the foundation and the halfspace are considered, and several parametric studies are conducted to assess the influence of either type of boundary conditions upon each of the possible modes of vibration. Results for massive and massless foundations are presented in time and frequency domains for impulsive and harmonic excitations, respectively. A time domain boundary element method (BEM) developed by the authors for the solution of a class of 3-D soil-structure interaction (SSI) problems is used for all the analyses reported in this work. The accuracy and efficiency of the method and the BEM models developed in this work are assessed on the basis of comparison studies with published results. 相似文献

TWO DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT-BOUNDARY ELEMENT COUPLING MODEL OF MAGNETOTELLURIC SOUNDING 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 This paper describes how to apply the boundary element method to solve 2-D magneto-telluric sounding problem and then couple the BEM with finite element method to deal with inhomogeneous geological structure and its relation to regional stress regime. The BEM is able to calculate precisely the derivative of field variables. Such a new approach can more flexibly than others set up the upper boundary condition of the air region. Two practical examples are given. One is the study of topographical effect on the MT fields using boundary element method. There is an inverse relationship between the change of apparent resistivity and the topographical variation. The other is a coupled model of a basin in Nei Monngol Autonomous Region. A lower resistivity zone must exist in the crust and should be thicker below the central portion of the basin. This seems to agree with the regional stress regime changed from extension in Mesozoic to compression in Cenozoic 相似文献

The influence of stochastic kinematic interaction (SKI) on structural response is investigated in this paper. The SKI is evaluated through a computational model based on the boundary element method (BEM) formulated in the frequency domain. The singular integrals required in the computation of BEM are evaluated in a closed form. It is assumed that the foundation input motion (FIM) is the result of the superposition of many plane, stationary, correlated stochastic SH‐, P‐ and SV‐waves travelling within a homogeneous viscoelastic soil at different angles. The results obtained indicate that the effect of SKI on the foundation response is qualitatively similar to that of wave passage. Both effects involve a reduction of translational components of the response at intermediate and high frequencies and creation of a rotational response component at intermediate frequencies, which decreases at high frequencies. While, it is found that the SKI decreases the maximum response of structures built on embedded rigid strip foundations excited by SH‐ and P‐waves, it increases the maximum response for SV‐waves, except when the natural frequency of the structure is less than 0.5 Hz and for short structures excited by shallowly incident SV‐waves.
