Dynamic BEM analysis of elastic foundation on anisotropic half-plane

The aim is to solve 2D dynamic problem in frequency and time domains for a flexible foundation resting in an elastic anisotropic half-plane with arbitrary geometry subjected to plane longitudinal P- and transverse SV-waves. The computational tool is based on the boundary integral equation method using frequency-dependent fundamental solution of the governing equation in 2D anisotropic elastodynamics. Numerical scheme verification and parametric studies are presented and discussed. The obtained results illustrate clearly the wave field sensitivity to the type and characteristics of the incident plane wave, to the anisotropic material properties and to the anisotropic soil–foundation dynamic interaction.
