Stress Wave Propagation through Earth-Water Systems

Abstract

The fundamental objective of this study is to develop numerical techniques to treat the general two-dimensional stress wave propagation problem through nonlinear earth materials including the effects of water flow through the earth materials. Topics discussed include the following: Governing system equations; Solution procedure; Numerical results; One-dimensional elastic consolidation; Triaxial elastic soil consolidation; Triaxial Coulomb-Mohr model, and McCormick Ranch Sand model.
