Elastic waves at a corrugated interface between two dissimilar fibre‐reinforced elastic half‐spaces

The reflection and transmission phenomena of elastic waves incident at a corrugated interface between two dissimilar fibre‐reinforced elastic half‐spaces have been analysed. Using Rayleigh method of approximation, the expressions of the reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained in closed form for the plane interface as well as for the first order approximation of the periodic interface ζ = d cos px. All these reflection and transmission coefficients of regular and irregular waves are found to be the functions of angle of incidence and elastic parameters of the media. Moreover, the coefficients of irregularly reflected and transmitted waves are found to be proportional to the amplitude of the corrugated interface and are functions of the frequency of the incident wave. Numerical computations have been performed for a specific model to compute these coefficients and results obtained are shown graphically. The results of Singh and Singh (Sadhana 2004; 29 :249–257) and Ben‐Menahem and Singh (Seismic Waves and Sources. Springer: New York) have been derived from our analysis as particular cases.

Plane SH‐waves at a corrugated interface between two dissimilar perfectly conducting self‐reinforced elastic half‐spaces

In this paper, we have attempted a problem of reflection and refraction of plane harmonic SH‐wave at a corrugated interface between two different perfectly conducting self‐reinforced elastic half‐spaces. Rayleigh's method is employed to find out the expressions of reflection and refraction coefficients for first‐ and second‐order approximation of the corrugation. The expressions of these coefficients show that they depend on the properties of half‐spaces, angle of incidence, frequency of the incident wave and are strongly influenced by the corrugation of the interface. Numerical computations are performed for a particular model having special type of interface and the variation of these coefficients are depicted graphically against the angles of incidence, frequency parameter, corrugation parameter at different values of reinforcement parameters. Results of some earlier works are reduced as a particular case of this formulation. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Response of shear wave from a corrugated interface between elastic solid/viscoelastic half‐spaces

The propagation of plane shear wave at a corrugation interface between elastic solid and viscoelastic liquid half‐spaces has been investigated. Adopting Rayleigh's method of approximation, the reflection and refraction coefficients corresponding to reflected and refracted SH‐waves have been derived for the first order of approximation of the corrugated interface. These coefficients are derived in the closed form for a periodic interface. Numerical computation has been performed for a particular model and the results are depicted graphically. The results of Asano (Bull. Earthquake Res. Inst. 1960; 38 (2):177–197) and Kielczynski and Pajewski (J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 1987; 81 (3):599–605) are recovered from this study.

P波在弹性介质与饱和冻土介质分界面上的透反射问题研究

基于弹性波在冻结饱和多孔介质与单相弹性介质中的传播理论,研究了平面P波在饱和冻土介质与单相弹性介质分界面上的透反射问题。利用Helmholtz矢量分解定理,根据分界面上的边界条件,获得了平面P波从单相弹性介质入射到饱和冻土介质分界面上透反射振幅比的理论表达式。通过数值计算,分析了在不同入射频率、胶结参数、孔隙率、饱和度和接触参数下,弹性波的透反射振幅比随入射角变化的关系。研究结果表明：P波从单相弹性介质垂直入射到饱和冻土介质分界面上时只有反射P波和3种透射P波产生,当掠入射时只产生反射而没有透射现象发生。入射频率、胶结参数、孔隙率、饱和度以及接触参数等参数对反射波和透射波的振幅比影响显著。     

The study of reflection/transmission phenomena in a corrugated interface between two magnetoelastic transversely isotropic media

In this paper, an integrated approach has been carried out with an intent to study the reflection and transmission phenomena of plane SH-type wave on a corrugated interface separating two magnetoelastic transversely isotropic half-space. Closed form expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients have been derived for both plane and corrugated surface. Rayleigh’s method of approximation have been incorporated to deduce equations for the first- and second-order approximation of corrugation. Analytical solutions for both the half-spaces have been worked out. All possible cases have been apprehended specially for anisotropic and an isotropic medium. The effects of magnetoelastic coupling parameter, angle at which the wave crosses the magnetic field, corrugation amplitude, frequency factor and wave number have been explained by collaborating with graphical analysis.     

不同饱和度土层分界面上剪切波的反射与透射

基于多相孔隙介质弹性理论,给出了非饱和土中不同弹性波的传播方程。根据分界面上的边界条件,建立了各势函数波幅值之间的关系式,讨论了入射剪切波在不同饱和度土层分界面上的反射与透射问题。在无限空间非饱和土体中存在3种压缩波和1种剪切波,因此,当剪切波传播到不同饱和度的非饱和土层分界面上将分别在上、下土层激发产生4种反射波和4种透射波。推导出不同反射波和透射波的振幅比例系数和能量比例系数的理论表达式,并且在此基础上进行数值分析。在数值算例中分别研究了各反射波与透射波的能量比例系数（即能量反射率和能量透射率）受入射频率、入射角度以及上、下土层土体饱和度变化的影响情况。计算结果表明：各能量反射率和能量透射率不仅与入射角和入射频率有关,而且其受上、下土层饱和度变化的影响也同样不能忽视。     

P-S波反射系数的一种小角度近似

从Aki和Richards在弱反差条件下给出的P-S波反射系数近似公式出发,提出了一种在小角度入射范围内的P-S波反射系数近似公式.为了得到该近似公式,对原公式中的角度项进行了二项式展开,直接利用入射角代替入射角的正弦.不同模型的计算表明,该近似在小角度入射范围内相当于Aki和Richards的原近似公式,在大角度时有一定改善.新的近似公式形式简单、涉及的弹性参数较少,容易应用到反演当中.另外,利用一阶小角度近似结果可以对横波阻抗进行反演.

非均匀介质地震AVO响应模拟及分析

地震AVO （amplitude versus offset）技术是一项利用振幅信息研究岩性、检测油气的地震勘探技术。常规方法基于Zoeppritz方程计算模型界面处的反射系数,而实际地下非均匀介质中地震反射特征不仅与入射角度、物性差异有关,还与入射波频率、地层厚度、薄互层结构等因素有关。为此,应用传播矩阵理论充分考虑与这些因素有关的调谐干涉等传播效应,针对实际数据计算非均匀地下介质的高精度合成地震记录,对比Zoeppritz方程、Shuey二项近似方程、Shuey三项近似方程以及传播矩阵算法的模拟效果。研究发现：在小角度入射时Zoeppritz方程、Shuey二项近似方程和Shuey三项近似方程的反射振幅和波形基本一致,大角度入射时Zoeppritz方程与Shuey三项近似方程接近;Zoeppritz算法的模拟结果在小角度入射和浅层情况下与传播矩阵算法差别较小,而在大角度入射和深层情况下与传播矩阵差别较大,说明层间多次波的调谐干涉等传播效应不可忽略。     

斜入射线弹性节理应力波传播特征的数值模拟

依据弹性波理论,应力波斜入射线弹性节理时会发生波场分解。根据入射、透射及反射各波形的不同到时,运用离散元软件UDEC模拟应力波在含倾斜节理岩体中的传播并计算其透射、反射系数,并分析其波型转换规律。应力波斜入射单节理时,模拟得到的透射、反射系数随节理刚度、入射角度的变化规律,与已有的理论解是吻合的。应力波斜入射一组平行节理时,随着节理间距的增大,其同类波的透射系数Tpp、Tss先增大后减小,最后趋于稳定值;节理条数越多,Tpp、Tss越小。此外,不同条数的节理,透射系数达到最大值的临界节理间距值基本一致,但趋于稳定时的节理间距值随节理条数的增加而逐渐增大。     

Analysis of Blast Wave Interaction with a Rock Joint

The interaction between rock joints and blast waves is crucial in rock engineering when rock mass is suffered from artificial or accidental explosions, bursts or weapon attacks. Based on the conservation of momentum at the wave fronts and the displacement discontinuity method, quantitative analysis for the interaction between obliquely incident P- or S-blast wave and a linear elastic rock joint is carried out in the present study, so as to deduce a wave propagation equation. For some special cases, such as normal or tangential incidence, rigid or weak joint, the analytical solution of the stress wave interaction with a rock joint is obtained by simplifying the wave propagation equation. By verification, it is found that the transmission and reflection coefficients from the wave propagation equation agree very well with the existing results. Parametric studies are then conducted to evaluate the effects of the joint stiffness and incident waves on wave transmission and reflection. The wave propagation equation derived in the present study can be straightforwardly extended for different incident waveforms and nonlinear rock joints to calculate the transmitted and reflected waves without mathematical methods such as the Fourier and inverse Fourier transforms.     

Analytical solutions for dynamic pressures of coupling fluid–porous medium–solid due to SV wave incidence

This paper presents the results of theoretical investigation on the dynamic coupling of an ideal fluid‐porous medium‐elastic half‐space system subjected to SV waves to study the effect of sediment on the seismic response of dams for reservoirs that are deposited with a significant amount of sediment after a long period of operation. The effects of the porous medium and the incident wave angle on dynamic pressures in the overlying ideal fluid are analyzed, and the reflection and transmission coefficients of the wave at the material interfaces are derived using an analytical solution in terms of displacement potentials. The numerical test of modeling shows that the dynamic pressures significantly depend on the properties of porous medium. The fully saturated porous medium reduces the response peaks slightly, while the partially saturated porous medium causes a considerable increase in the resonance peaks.

Effect of wave non‐linearity on the standing‐wave‐induced seabed response

A standing wave in front of a seawall may reach a height more than twice of its incident component. When excess pore pressure occurs, it may even induce seabed instability, hence endangering the structure. This issue was studied previously using only linear wave theory. In this paper, standing‐wave theory to a second‐order approximation is applied, in order to demonstrate the differences between these two solutions. The spatial and temporal variations in the instantaneous pore pressure are first calculated, in addition to their vertical distributions. The effects of wave height, water depth and the degree of soil saturation on pore pressure distributions are then discussed, followed by the net pore pressure averaged over one wave cycle. The results suggest the existence of a residual pore pressure in the seabed and its net pore pressure can be used to estimate the wave‐induced liquefaction potential in a soil column. It also indicates that, in deep water, the second‐order solution predicts that a negative pore pressure at an antinode which may be greater than a positive pressure. Overall, the second‐order solution is found to agree better with the experimental results of the pore pressures available, compared to the linear solution.

On the interface error analysis for finite difference wave simulation

A common way to construct a finite difference scheme is to satisfy a desired order of approximation, typically as high as possible. For linear wave propagation problem approximation together with stability delivers convergence of the same order as approximation. If a wave propagation proses is considered convergence to a plane wave solution can be derived analytically by means of the dispersion analysis. However, mentioned techniques are applicable only to homogeneous media and provide no knowledge of reflection/transmission coefficients. In this paper we prove that the only way to get second order accuracy of the solution for media with discontinuous parameters is to use a conservative finite difference scheme of the second order, and the only way to do this is to use the arithmetic mean for the density and the harmonic mean for the bulk modulus in the vicinity of the interface.     

节理面透射模型及其隔振性能研究

振动波入射到节理界面上,与软弱断层一样会产生波场的分解,能够起到隔振作用。根据线性变形节理的透反射规律研究发现,隔振后各点的波场可由透射P波与透射S波叠加而成,其能量分配服从Zoeppritz方程,不连续位移造成了透射波的衰减;法向刚度增加透射纵波系数会增加,而切向刚度与透射纵波无关,法向与切向刚度对透射S波均有影响,刚度增加透射S波振幅逐渐降低,逐步逼近于0;由于透射后波场相互干涉,不同波场延时不同,透射合成波与入射波相比,振幅降低,持续时间增加,波形尾段有畸变;总能量系数与节理面的刚度无关,而随入射角增加不断降低。     

Reflection of<Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis> and<Emphasis Type="Italic">SV</Emphasis> waves at the free surface of a monoclinic elastic half-space

The propagation of plane waves in an anisotropic elastic medium possessing monoclinic symmetry is discussed. The expressions for the phase velocity ofqP andqSV waves propagating in the plane of elastic symmetry are obtained in terms of the direction cosines of the propagation vector. It is shown that, in general,qP waves are not longitudinal andqSV waves are not transverse. Pure longitudinal and pure transverse waves can propagate only in certain specific directions. Closed-form expressions for the reflection coefficients ofqP andqSV waves incident at the free surface of a homogeneous monoclinic elastic half-space are obtained. These expressions are used for studying numerically the variation of the reflection coefficients with the angle of incidence. The present analysis corrects some fundamental errors appearing in recent papers on the subject.     

Transmission of Elastic P-waves across Single Fractures with a Nonlinear Normal Deformational Behavior

Summary This paper presents a theoretical study on normally incident elastic P-wave transmission across single dry fractures with a nonlinear normal deformational behavior. The effects of nonlinear fracture normal behavior on P-wave transmission are examined without the mixture of fracture shear behavior. The linear displacement discontinuity model for wave propagation across fractures is extended to a nonlinear model – the hyperbolic elastic model (BB model). Numeric solutions of magnitudes of transmission (|T _non|) and reflection (|R _non|) coefficients, for normally incident P-wave transmission across the nonlinear deformable fractures, are obtained and related to the closure behavior of fractures. Parametric studies are conducted to acquire an insight into the effects of the nonlinear fracture normal deformation on P-wave transmission, in terms of initial normal stiffness and the ratio of current maximum closure to maximum allowable closure of the fractures, as well as the incident wave amplitude and frequency. Comparisons between the linear and nonlinear models are presented. It is shown that, |T _lin| and |R _lin| for the linear model are special solutions of |T _non| and |R _non| for the nonlinear model, when the incident wave amplitude is so low that the current maximum closure of fracture incurred during the wave transmission is much smaller, relative to the maximum allowable closure. In addition, the nonlinear fracture behavior gives rise to a phenomenon of higher harmonics during the wave transmission across the fracture. The higher harmonics contribute to the increase of |T _non| from |T _lin|.

岩体夹层应力波能量演化及应力响应特征分析

夹层是常见的地质结构,在地震或爆破荷载作用下,夹层对应力波的传播以及对岩体的响应具有重要的影响。以往对应力波在夹层介质中传播的研究多集中于夹层对应力波的隔振或透射性能,而对应力波在夹层中的多次折、反射过程中能量的演化规律缺乏讨论,对夹层介质的应力响应与破坏没有开展较好地分析。通过理论方法对应力波在夹层内部传播过程中的能量系数的变化规律进行了研究,分析了岩体介质波阻抗和应力波入射角对夹层内外介质中累积波动能量系数的影响规律,以及平面型边坡中软弱夹层的应力响应特征和动态稳定性。研究发现,应力波在夹层内部往复反射过程中,夹层内剩余应力波能量随折、反射发生次数呈指数曲线下降,第4次折、反射后产生的应力波能量可以忽略;夹层内外介质中应力波的累积能量系数的差异随着夹层内外介质波阻抗的相对差异的增大而增大。在平面谐波入射下,边坡内部的夹层中的剪应力和抗剪强度呈波动变化;相对P波,SV波入射会产生较高水平的剪应力,对边坡稳定性影响最大。且SV波入射时,边坡的安全系数对夹层的倾角变化更为敏感,随倾角增大而迅速降低。     

Propagation of Love wave in fiber‐reinforced medium lying over an initially stressed orthotropic half‐space

In this paper, the propagation of Love waves in a fiber‐reinforced layered medium lying over an elastic orthotropic half‐space under initial stress has been investigated. We have obtained the velocity equations for Love wave in this media. It is observed that propagation of Love wave is influenced by reinforced parameters and initial stressed parameter. The velocity of Love wave has been computed for three different cases. Our computed equation of Love wave coincides with the standard equation of Love wave for the case of homogeneous layer and homogeneous half‐space (AEH Love, 1911). To study the effect of reinforced and initial stressed parameters, we have computed the numerical values for phase velocity and plotted in several figures. It is observed that the phase velocity decreases with the increases of reinforced parameters and initial stressed parameter. Using MATLAB software, GUI has been developed to generalize the effect of various parameters. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
