In this paper, the transmissibility of soils for vibrations induced by trains moving at different
speeds is studied. The 2.5 D finite/infinite element approach adopted herein allows us to …

For buildings and factories located near railway or subway lines, the vibrations caused by
the moving trains, especially at high speeds, may be annoying to the residents or …

Two drawbacks exist with the infinite elements used for simulating the unbounded domains
of semi‐infinite problems. The first is the lack of an adequate measure for calculating the …

The transmission of vibrations, and its reduction, in the far-field of the surface of the ground
due to a harmonic load acting over a strip, is investigated theoretically. A possible vibration …

In this paper, the model of a linear corrugated orthotropic stratum above a semi-infinite
substratum is elaborated by a half-space time-domain boundary element method (TD-BEM) …

Spatially-distributed buried structures are highly susceptible to seismic ground motions. The
macroscopic soil reactions to soil–structure relative displacements, aka. soil impedance …

We present fully-discrete procedures for computing the impedance functions of rigid
massless soil-structure interfaces that are embedded in arbitrarily heterogeneous half …

The influence of anisotropic and poroelastic effects on dynamic compliances of multiple rigid
strip foundations bonded to a transversely isotropic poroelastic layer is studied in this paper …

The two-dimensional boundary element method in frequency domain is used to investigate
the screening effectiveness of the open trench–wall barrier system on reducing vibration …

This paper presents an analytical method to study the dynamic contact response of an
orthotropic viscoelastic coated half plane indented by a rigid flat punch that transmits a …
