Descrição

This paper presents analytical solutions for computing the 3D displacements in a flat solid elastic stratum bounded by a rigid base, when it is subjected to spatially sinusoidal harmonic line loads. These functions are also used as Greens functions in a boundary element method code that simulates the seismic wave propagation in a confined or semi-confined 2D valley, avoiding the discretization of the free and rigid horizontal boundaries. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6V4Y-47609FW-1/1/91431ac76dd79dd18d4629d2efeb569e
