This book focuses on the mathematical potential and computational
efficiency of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for modeling
seismic wave propagation in either continuous or discrete
inhomogeneous elastic/viscoelastic, isotropic/anisotropic media
containing multiple cavities, cracks, inclusions and surface
topography. BEM models may take into account the entire seismic
wave path from the seismic source through the geological deposits
all the way up to the local site under consideration. The general
presentation of the theoretical basis of elastodynamics for
inhomogeneous and heterogeneous continua in the first part is
followed by the analytical derivation of fundamental solutions and
Green's functions for the governing field equations by the usage of
Fourier and Radon transforms. The numerical implementation of the
BEM is for antiplane in the second part as well as for plane strain
boundary value problems in the third part. Verification studies and
parametric analysis appear throughout the book, as do both recent
references and seminal ones from the past. Since the background of
the authors is in solid mechanics and mathematical physics, the
presented BEM formulations are valid for many areas such as civil
engineering, geophysics, material science and all others concerning
elastic wave propagation through inhomogeneous and heterogeneous
media. The material presented in this book is suitable for
self-study. The book is written at a level suitable for advanced
undergraduates or beginning graduate students in solid mechanics,
computational mechanics and fracture mechanics.
This book provides state of the art coverage of important current
issues in the analysis, measurement, and monitoring of the dynamic
response of infrastructure to environmental loads, including those
induced by earthquake motion and differential soil settlement. The
coverage is in five parts that address numerical methods in
structural dynamics, soil-structure interaction analysis,
instrumentation and structural health monitoring, hybrid
experimental mechanics, and structural health monitoring for
bridges. Examples that give an impression of the scope of the
topics discussed include the seismic analysis of bridges, soft
computing in earthquake engineering, use of hybrid methods for
soil-structure interaction analysis, effects of local site
conditions on the inelastic dynamic analysis of bridges, embedded
models in wireless sensor networks for structural health
monitoring, recent developments in seismic simulation methods, and
seismic performance assessment and retrofit of structures.
Throughout, the emphasis is on the most significant recent advances
and new material. The book comprises extended versions of
contributions delivered at the DE-GRIE Lab Workshop 2014, held in
Thessaloniki, Greece, in November 2014.
