ANALYSIS OF FREE-FIELD DATA IN A HALFSPACE UNDER DYNAMIC LOADS.

Abstract

Exact analytic formulas are developed for obtaining wavefront stress and stress-gradient values in elastic and viscoelastic half-spaces subject to dynamic surface loading. These exact wave front stress values are used along with the results of a double-precision computer code in the display of stress profiles for the elastic half-space problem. Viscoelastic and elastic attenuation formulas are derived. Attenuation contours are plotted. (Author)
