Approximate Wave Functions of Dynamic Infinite Elements for Multi-layered Halfspaces
Abstract
This paper presents a systematic procedure to obtain shape functions of the infinite elements for soil-structure interaction analysis. The function spaces are derived from the analytical solutions and appropriate assumptions based on physical interpretation. The function spaces are complete for the surface wave components, but approximate for the body wave components. Three different infinite elements are developed by using the wave functions of the derived function spaces. Numerical example analysis is presented for demonstrating the effectiveness of the present infinite elements.
