A review of boundary element methods for the numerical solution of elastodynamic
problems covering the period 1986-1996 is presented. It is a continuation of a review article …

Air over-pressure (AOp) is one of the products of blasting operations for rock fragmentation
in open-pit mines. It can cause structural vibration, smash glass doors, adversely affect the …

Ground vibrations induced by machine foundations can cause unfavourable effects on the
nearby buildings ranging from annoyance to structural damage. Most of these vibrations …

A numerical investigation on the effectiveness of open and in-filled trenches in reducing the
building vibrations due to passing trains is presented. Particularly, a two-dimensional soil …

Trains running in built-up areas are a source to ground-borne noise. A careful design of the
track may be one way of minimizing the vibrations in the surroundings. For example, open or …

The problem of vibration isolation by a row of piles is numerically solved in a three‐
dimensional context by an advanced frequency domain boundary element method (BEM) …

In this paper, a finite/infinite element scheme developed previously by the authors is
employed to investigate the effectiveness of three different wave barriers, ie, the open …

In the present-day context, man-made sources of ground-borne vibration are rising at a very
rapid rate due to increasing construction work, blasting activities, and rapidly expanding rail …

This paper presents a theoretical study on the ground vibration isolation efficiency by multi-
rows of piles as passive barrier in a three-dimensional context. Integral equations governing …

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 …
