The governing equations of wave propagation in one dimension of elastic continuum materials are investigated by taking the influence of the initial stress into account. After a short review of the theory of elastic wave propagation in a rock mass with an initial stress, results indicate that the initial stress differentially influences P-wave and S-wave propagation. For example, when the initial stress is homogeneous, for the P-wave, the initial stress only affects the magnitude of the elastic coefficients, but for the S-wave, the initial stress not only influences the elastic coefficients but also changes the governing equation of wave propagation. In addition, the P-wave and S-wave velocities were measured for granite samples at a low initial stress state; the results indicate that the seismic velocities increase with the initial stress. The analysis of the previous data of seismic velocities and elastic coefficients in rocks under ultra-high hydrostatic initial stress are also investigated.

The behavior of jointed rock mass is much different from that of intact rock due to the presence of joints. Similarly, the characteristics of elastic wave propagation in jointed rock are considerably different from those of intact rock. The propagation of elastic waves in jointed rock is greatly dependent on the state of stress. The roughness, filling materials, and spacing of joints also affect wave propagation in jointed rock. If the wavelength of elastic waves is much larger than the spacing between joints, wave propagation in jointed rock mass can be considered as wave propagation in equivalent continuum. A rock resonant column testing apparatus is made to measure elastic waves propagating through jointed rock in the state of equivalent continuum. Three types of wave, i.e, torsional, longitudinal and flexural waves are monitored during rock resonant column tests. Various roughness and filling materials are applied to joints, and rock columns with various spacings are used to understand how these factors affect wave propagation under a small strain condition. The experimental results suggest that the characteristics of wave propagation in jointed rock mass are governed by the state of stress and influenced by roughness, filling materials and joint spacings.

콘크리트 포장의 품질관리 항목 중에서 압축 강도는 매우 중요한 인자로 여겨져 왔다. 압축 강도 값을 얻기 위해 현장에서 코아를 채취하여 이를 품질관리의 기준으로 사용하였다. 그렇지만, 코아를 채취하는 것은 많은 인력과 시간을 필요로 하며 실제로 현장의 품질관리를 정확히 추정하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 또한 포장의 설계 방법도 탄성계수에 근거한 역학적-경험적 방법이 도입되고 있다. 이러한 현장의 품질관리 문제점을 해결하고, 포장설계와의 연계를 위해 비파괴 실험방법이 도입되고 있다. 다양한 비파괴 실험 방법 중에서 이론적으로 탄성계수를 추정할 수 있는 방법은 Wave Propagation방법이므로 본 연구에서는 Wave Propagation 방법을 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 현장의 품질관리를 수행하는 방법 중의 일환으로 실내에서 제작한시편의 압축 강도와 비파괴 방법으로 얻은 탄성 계수와의 상관성을 검토하였으며, 비파괴 방법으로 얻은 탄성 계수로부터 압축 강도를 추정 할 때 배합별 특성에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 비파괴 실험에서 구한 탄성계수와 압축강도와의 상관성은 매우 우수한 것으로 판명되었으며, 골재의 종류별로 상관성이 서로 상이하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

탄성파 전파 과정의 정량적인 이해와 그 가시화는 결함 탐지는 물론이고, 재료의 물성 평가에 매우 중요하다. 대상 재료가 이방성을 지닐 경우에 탄성파 전파 과정은 복잡해져서 전파 과정의 해석 및 가시화 작업은 탄성파를 이용하는 결함 탐지 및 재질 평가에서는 필수적이다. 이방성 재료에서는 탄성파의 속도가 방향에 따라서 달라짐은 물론이고, 위상 속도와 군 속도의 방향이 어긋나서 파면이 진행하는 방향과 에너지가 진행하는 방향이 달라진다(beam skewing 효과). 특히 복합재료와 같이 이방성이 큰 재료에서는 이 효과가 매우 크게 나타나므로 탄성파를 이용한 시험 결과를 해석하고자 할 때에는 반드시 전파 과정을 이해해야 한다. 이방성 재료에 대해 해석적인 접근에는 한계가 있어서 유한차분법(finite difference method: FDM)과 같은 수치 해석 방법이 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄성파 전파 과정을 해석할 수 있는 2차원 FDM 프로그램을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 이방성 재료에서의 탄성파 전파에 대한 전산 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교 분석한다.

The elastic wave equation is solved using the finite-difference method in 3D space to simulate the seismic wave propagation. It is based on the velocity-stress formulation of the equation of motion on a staggered grid. The nonreflecting boundary conditions are used to attenuate the wave field close to the numerical boundary. To satisfy the stress-free conditions at the free-surface boundary, a new formulation combining the zero-stress formalism with the vacuum one is applied. The effective media parameters are employed to satisfy the traction continuity condition across the media interface. With use of the moment-tensor components, the wide range of source mechanism parameters can be specified. The numerical experiments are carried out in order to test the applicability and accuracy of this scheme and to understand the fundamental features of the wave propagation under the generalized elastic media structure. Computational results show that the scheme is sufficiently accurate for modeling wave propagation in 3D elastic media and generates all the possible phases appropriately in under the given heterogeneous velocity structure. Also the characteristics of the ground motion in an sedimentary basin such as the amplification, trapping, and focusing of the elastic wave energy are well represented. These results demonstrate the use of this simulation method will be helpful for modeling the ground motion of seismological and engineering purpose like earthquake hazard assessment, seismic design, city planning, and etc..

In this paper, the wave propagation in a generalized thermo elastic plate embedded in an elastic medium (Winkler model) is studied based on the Lord-Schulman (LS) and Green-Lindsay (GL) generalized two dimensional theory of thermo elasticity. Two displacement potential functions are introduced to uncouple the equations of motion. The frequency equations that include the interaction between the plate and foundation are obtained by the traction free boundary conditions using the Bessel function solutions. The numerical calculations are carried out for the material Zinc and the computed non-dimensional frequency and attenuation coefficient are plotted as the dispersion curves for the plate with thermally insulated and isothermal boundaries. The wave characteristics are found to be more stable and realistic in the presence of thermal relaxation times and the foundation parameter. A comparison of the results for the case with no thermal effects shows well agreement with those by the membrane theory.

The present paper is devoted to study SH-wave propagation in heterogeneous layer laying over an inhomogeneous isotropic elastic half-space. The dispersion relation for propagation of said waves is derived with Green's function method and Fourier transform. As a special case when the upper layer and lower half-space are homogeneous, our derived equation is in agreement with the general equation of Love wave. Numerically, it is observed that the velocity of SH-wave increases with the increase of inhomogeneity parameter.

Non-destructive exploration using elastic waves has been widely used to characterize rock mass properties. Wave propagation in jointed rock masses is significantly governed by the characteristics and orientation of discontinuities. The relationship between spatial heterogeneity (i.e., joint spacing) and wavelength for elastic waves propagating through jointed rock masses have been investigated previously. Discontinuous rock masses can be considered as an equivalent continuum material when the wavelength of the propagating elastic wave exceeds the spatial heterogeneity. However, it is unclear how stress-dependent long-wavelength elastic waves propagate through a repetitive rock-joint system with multiple joints. A preliminary numerical simulation was performed in in this study to investigate long-wavelength elastic wave propagation in regularly jointed rock masses using the three-dimensional distinct element code program. First, experimental studies using the quasi-static resonant column (QSRC) testing device are performed on regularly jointed disc column specimens for three different materials (acetal, aluminum, and gneiss). The P- and S-wave velocities of the specimens are obtained under various normal stress levels. The normal and shear joint stiffness are calculated from the experimental results using an equivalent continuum model and used as input parameters for numerical analysis. The spatial and temporal sizes are carefully selected to guarantee a stable numerical simulation. Based on the calibrated jointed rock model, the numerical and experimental results are compared.

The paper involves the study on the elastic and elasto-plastic stress wave propagation in the 1-D and 2-D solid media. The Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics equations governing the elastic and elasto-plastic large deformation dynamic response of solid structures are presented. The proposed additional stress points are introduced in the formulation to mitigate the tensile instability inherent in the SPH approach. Both incremental rate approach and leap-frog algorithm for time integration are introduced and the new solution algorithm is developed and implemented. Two examples on stress wave propagation in aluminium bar and 2-D elasto-plastic steel plate are included. Results from the proposed SPH approach are compared with available analytical values and finite element solutions. The comparison illustrates that the stress wave propagation problems can be effectively solved by the proposed SPH method. The study shows that the SPH simulation is a reliable and robust tool and can be used with confidence to treat transient dynamics such as linear and non-linear transient stress wave propagation problems.
