In this investigation, the traditional seismic response problem of tunnels in single-phase and saturated soil under the incidence of plane waves is extended to the ground motion problem considering the overlying water. Firstly, the site model of underwater tunnel under plane P-wave incidence is established. Then, the influence of thermal physical parameters such as incident angle, incident frequency and porosity on the ground motion of an underwater tunnel is studied using the Fourier–Bessel series expansion method of the wave function, which provides a reasonable explanation for the ground motion of an underwater site.
Rubber-cement composites (RCC) is an environmentally friendly, green, and sustainable cement-based energy-absorbing materials. To study the dynamic response characteristics of RCC under explosion shock, the central explosion tests of RCC plate specimens were carried out by using the two-dimensional plate blasting (TDPB) test system. In the aspect of strain wave propagation, the characteristics and laws of explosive strain wave propagation in RCC plate structure were analyzed. In terms of damage characteristics, the macro-damage modes of RCC plate specimens under central explosion were analyzed, and the formation and propagation mechanisms of radial explosion growth cracks and the formation mechanism of central annular spalling were revealed. In terms of explosion resistance characteristics, combined with the meso-fracture morphology of RCC, the synergistic characteristics of mechanics and energy dissipation among cement mortar matrix, rubber particles, and pore structure were analyzed from the meso-level, and the explosion resistance mechanism of RCC plate structure was further revealed. RCC effectively combined the explosion resistance concepts of “coupling rigidity with flexibility” and “overcoming rigidity by flexibility”, showing excellent explosion resistance ability. Finally, in view of the key scientific problem existing in RCC, the scientific and effective solution was discussed deeply, and the development method and research directions of the new RCC were further prospected.

Drgania występujące w gruncie, pochodzące od taboru kolejowego mają bardzo duże znaczenie w procesie projektowania oraz eksploatacji obiektów budowlanych zlokalizowanych bezpośrednio przy linii kolejowej. Analiza wielokryterialna zależności drgań powierzchniowych i drgań wgłębnych od różnych parametrów pozwala na określenie wytycznych w procesie inwestycyjnym. Wykonane pomiary uwzględniły propagację fal w zależności od rodzaju taboru kolejowego. Wyniki pokazują, że tonaż oraz wiek, a co za tym idzie – zastosowana technologia amortyzacji – mają bardzo duży wpływ na drgania podłoża gruntowego.

Vibrations occurring in the ground and coming from trains are very important in the design and use of buildings located directly next to the railway line. Multi-criteria analysis of the dependence of surface vibrations and deep vibrations on various parameters allows for the definition of guidelines in the investment process. The measurements taken took into account wave propagation depending on the type of rolling stock. The results show that the tonnage and age, and therefore the amortization technology used, have a very large impact on the ground vibrations.

Podczas magazynowania ropy naftowej, zwłaszcza w dużych zbiornikach magazynowych, systematycznie na dnie osadzają się cząstki organiczne o wysokiej masie cząsteczkowej (np. parafina), cząstki stałe (piasek, produkty korozji, itp.), jak również woda. Po pewnym okresie eksploatacji zbiornika cząstki te gromadząc się, tworzą osady, co powoduje m.in. zmniejszenie pojemności magazynowej. Istotna jest więc wiedza o kształcie i objętości osadów na dnie zbiornika, gdyż pozwala na określanie najlepszej formy przeciwdziałania i kontrolowania poziomu tych osadów. W 2017 roku UDT rozpoczął projekt opracowania systemu oceny poziomu i ilości osadów w zbiornikach magazynowych ropy naftowej, z wykorzystaniem techniki AE i termografii. W kolejnych latach realizacji projektu opracowano kompletną metodykę i procedurę oceny poziomu, objętości i kształtu osadów oraz proces weryfikacji wyników. W artykule przedstawiono wykorzystanie techniki AE i metody termografii oraz analizę i przetwarzanie danych pomiarowych w ramach systemu do oceny poziomu, objętości i kształtu osadów wewnątrz zbiornika magazynowego.

When crude oil is stored in large tanks, invariably high-molecular-weight organic sediments (paraffin) are deposited but the resulting sediments also contain solid particles (sand, corrosion products, etc.) as well as water. After some period of in-service of the tank, these deposits build up to form a sludge, which causes reduction in the storage capacity. Knowledge of the shape and volume of the sludge at the bottom of the tank is important, as it allows determining the best form of counteracting and controlling the level of sludge. In 2017 the Office of Technical Inspection launched a project to develop a system for assessing the level and quantity of sludge in crude oil storage tanks, using the AE technique and thermography. In the following years of duration of the project, a complete methodology and procedure for assessing the level, volume and shape of sludges was developed, as well as a process of verifying the results. In this paper are presented the use of AE technique and thermography method as well as the analysis and processing of measurement data within the system for assessing the level, volume and shape of sludge inside a storage tank.
Mapa środowiska radiowego to pomocne narzędzie, które jest obecnie wykorzystywane do planowania sieci radiowych i zarządzania nimi. Znajdują one zastosowanie np. w sieciach radia kognitywnego lub mobilnych sieciach doraźnych. W przypadku sieci doraźnych z węzłami rozmieszczonymi na bezzałogowych statkach powietrznych, wykorzystanie dwuwymiarowych map jest niewystarczające. Ten artykuł koncentruje się na generowaniu trójwymiarowej mapy, która jest zbiorem map dwuwymiarowych zdefiniowanych dla dyskretnych wysokości nad poziomem gruntu lub morza. Każda taka mapa jest wyznaczana za pomocą metody równań parabolicznych, która pozwala określić tłumienia dróg propagacyjnych dla wielu profili terenu rozchodzących się promieniście od analizowanego węzła sieci. W artykule przedstawiono opracowany algorytm oraz przykładowe wyniki dla rozległego obszaru.

A radio environment map is a helpful tool currently used to plan and manage radio networks. They are used, e.g., in cognitive radio networks or mobile ad-hoc networks. In the case of flying ad-hoc networks, the use of two dimensional maps is insufficient. This paper focuses on generating a three-dimensional map as a set of two-dimensional maps defined for discrete heights above ground or sea level. Each map is determined using the parabolic equation method, which allows for determining the path losses for many terrain profiles outgoing radially from the analyzed transmitting node. The paper presents the developed algorithm and exemplary results for a large area.
High-frequency motion is often observed in small-scale experimental works carried out in flexible containers under simplified seismic loading conditions when single harmonic sine input motions are introduced at the base of a soil specimen. The source of the high-frequency motion has often been sought in experimental inaccuracies. On the other hand, the most recent numerical studies suggested that high-frequency motion in the steady-state dynamic response of soil subjected to harmonic excitation can also be generated as a result of soil elastic waves released in non-linear hysteretic soil upon unloading. This work presents an example of a finite element numerical study on seismic soil–structure interaction representative of an experimental setup from the past. The results show how high-frequency motion generated in soil in the steady-state response, apparently representative of soil elastic waves, affects the steady-state response of a structure, that is, it is presented how the structure in the analysed case resonates with the soil elastic waves. The numerical findings are verified against the benchmark experimental example to indicate similar patterns in the dynamic response of the structure.
The Youd etal liquefaction resistance curves developed in 2001 to characterize the cyclic resistance of soil based on SPT test are the most used in the context of the Seed and Idriss simplified procedure as a deterministic model. These curves were developed from a modified database of Seed etal. in 1985 with the assumption that the actual peak shear stress (τd) induced at depth h is always less than that predicted by the simplified procedure (τr) of Seed and Idriss (rd= τd/τr<1). By using a suite of equivalent linear site response analyses to adjust the dynamic and the simplified shear stress at depth h, Filali and Sbartai showed in 2017 that the dynamic peak shear stress for some earthquakes is greater than the simplified peak shear stress (rd>1). As in this case, the assumption of the simplified procedure is not verified, Filali and Sbartai have proposed a corrector factor (RC) in the range where rd>1 to adjust the deformable and rigid body. In this paper, we will present a probabilistic study for the evaluation of the liquefaction potential using a database based on SPT measurement compiled after the Chi-Chi Taiwan earthquake, in which the cyclic stress ratio is evaluated using the proposed corrector factor. The objective of this study is to present a probabilistic shape of the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) curves based on the original simplified method of Seed and Idriss and the corrected version and a new formulation for computing the probability of liquefaction.
In this work, the state-space nonlocal strain gradient theory is used for the vibration analysis of piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) nanobeam. Power law relations are used to describe the computing analysis of FGM constituent properties. The refined higherorder beam theory and Hamilton’s principle are used to obtain the equations of motion of the piezoelectric nanobeam. Besides, the governing equations of the piezoelectric nanobeam are extracted by the developed nonlocal state-space theory, and the analytical wave dispersion method is used to solve wave propagation problems. The real and imaginary solutions for wave frequency, loss factor and wave number are obtained and presented in graphs.

A novel shear and normal deformations theory is presented in this article to illustrate the wave propagation and free vibration of three-layer sandwich curved beams subjected to elevated temperature and moisture environments and resting on viscoelastic foundation. The upper and lower layers are made of metal matrix reinforced with functionally graded (FG) graphene platelets (GPLs). While, the core layer is made of auxetic honeycomb structures. For the layers to be more bonded, the matrix of the face layers and the auxetic layer are both made of aluminum material. The volume fraction of GPLs is varied through the thickness of the face layers according to a layer-wise rule. The modified Halpin–Tsai model is used to describe the effective material properties of the face layers. Four types of GPLs distribution are considered in the present analysis. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is employed to discretize the equations of motion and then converted to a system of algebraic equations. This system can be solved to obtain the natural frequencies of the sandwich curved beams. Whereas, the wave dispersion relations are determined by solving the motion equations analytically. Convergence and comparison examples are presented to adjust and validate the present solution. In addition, comprehensive parametric studies are performed to investigate the effects of the weight fraction of GPLs, temperature, moisture concentrations, core thickness, boundary conditions, and viscoelastic foundation stiffness on the natural frequency, wave frequency and phase velocity of the honeycomb sandwich curved beams.
In this paper, a 2D numerical modeling of sound wave propagation in a shallow water medium that acts as a waveguide, are presented. This modeling is based on the method of characteristic which is not constrained by the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) condition. Using this method, the Euler time-dependent equations have been solved under adiabatic conditions inside of a shallow water waveguide which is consists of one homogeneous environment of water over a rigid bed. In this work, the stability and precision of the method of characteristics (MOC) technique for sound wave propagation in a waveguide were illustrated when it was applied with the semi-Lagrange method. The results show a significant advantage of the method of characteristics over the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method.
This article describes, based on the failure of a public utility building structure, the issues related to the destructive impact of vibrations on the ground in connection with the load-bearing structure of the facility. An external source of wave propagation was identified, located in the immediate vicinity of the analyzed building. Additionally, errors in the interpretation of the behavior of the structure during its operation were presented by performing ineffective construction works related to the attempt to strengthen the ground on which the school sports hall was directly erected. On the basis of the analysis of archival materials and additional tests, the necessary scope of repair works necessary to be performed on the site was determined, along with guidelines for the implementation of the diaphragm in the form of a ground vibro-isolating screen, aimed at minimizing the impact of parasiteismic impacts on the public building.

No numerical model has thus far addressed seismites, even though seismites are frequently used for the conditions which have to be fulfilled for the development of seismites have also been estimated only empirically. The present contribution is a first attempt to model numerically the soft-sediment deformation structures caused by the passage of S-waves through near-surface sedimentary layers. The simulations are based on the so-reconstruction of seismic events in the geological past. This is the more remarkable since the boundary called pressure tube model and the iSALE2D program. We modelled a seismic S-wave with six different vertical velocities, ranging from 1.6 to 2.6 m · s-1, passing through sediments with different densities and porosities in a sedimentary succession from the surface down to a depth of 10 m. The modelled soft-sediment deformation structures (load casts, flame structures, injection structures and sedimentary volcanoes) show similar geometries and sizes as those known from laboratory experiments and field studies. The geometry, size and type of these structures depend on the sediment properties and on the initial pressure used as a trigger mechanism, rather than on S-wave velocity. In contrast, the depth of the seismites appears to depend strongly on the S-wave velocity.
This paper describes a homogenization model for evaluating the effective elastodynamic properties of acoustic metamaterials in problems involving wave propagation. The methodology is based on determining the constitutive equations in terms of averaged quantities observed at the macroscale. In this sense, the approach very closely follows the pioneering ideas introduced by Willis, and afterwards, followed by several authors in the last ten years. The distinctive characteristic of our approach is that we write the microscale equation in the spatial domain. The model is validated with previous results published in the literature, and our results replicate them almost exactly. The resulting homogenization model could be used as an additional tool for the topology design of acoustic metamaterials.
In this study, the elastic wave propagation method is used to observe the initiation and evolution of the fatigue failure form in the multilayered composite plate with an elliptical hole. The experimental tests with the use of active, pitch-catch elastic wave measurement techniques are used during the fatigue test of the composite specimens. The fatigue tests were preceded by the numerical, finite element analysis of the elastic wave propagation phenomenon in a composite plate with an elliptical hole. The sequential measurement related to the number of cycles during the fatigue tests was assumed. The time of flight (ToF) and amplitude change was monitored by piezoelectric sensors localized in the area of predictable failure form evolution. The analysis of the dynamic response of the structure under fatigue loading conditions by a relatively small number of piezoelectric transduces allows us to build cost-effective Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for damage detection and monitoring of the failure form evolution.

The objects of consideration are thin linearly elastic Kirchhoff-Love-type circular cylindrical shells having a periodically microheterogeneous structure in circumferential and axial directions (biperiodic shells). The aim of this contribution is to study a certain long wave propagation problem related to micro-fluctuations of displacement field caused by a periodic structure of the shells. This micro-dynamic problem will be analysed in the framework of a certain mathematical averaged model derived by means of the combined modelling procedure. The combined modelling applied here includes two techniques: the asymptotic modelling procedure and a certain extended version of the known tolerance non-asymptotic modelling technique based on a new notion of weakly slowly-varying function. Both these procedures are conjugated with themselves under special conditions. Contrary to the starting exact shell equations with highly oscillating, non-continuous and periodic coefficients, governing equations of the averaged combined model have constant coefficients depending also on a cell size. It will be shown that the micro-periodic heterogeneity of the shells leads to exponential micro-vibrations and to exponential waves as well as to dispersion effects, which cannot be analysed in the framework of the asymptotic models commonly used for investigations of vibrations and wave propagation in the periodic structures.
