Abstract: | This paper presents a comprehensive analytical and numerical treatment of two‐dimensional dynamic response of a dissipative poroelastic half‐plane under time‐harmonic internal loads and fluid sources. General solutions for poroelastodynamic equations corresponding to Biot's theory are obtained by using Fourier integral transforms in the x‐direction. These general solutions are used to solve boundary‐value problems corresponding to vertical and horizontal loads, and fluid sources applied at a finite depth below the surface of a poroelastic half‐plane. Explicit analytical solutions corresponding to above‐boundary‐value problems are presented. The solutions for poroelastic fields of a half‐plane subjected to internal excitations are expressed in terms of semiinfinite Fourier type integrals that can only be evaluated by numerical quadrature. The integration path is free from any singularities due to the dissipative nature of the elastic waves propagating in a poroelastic medium, and the Fourier integrals are evaluated by using an adaptive version of the trapezoidal rule. The accuracy of present numerical solutions are confirmed by comparison with existing solutions for ideal elasticity and poroelasticity. Selected numerical results are presented to portray the influence of the frequency of excitation, poroelastic material properties and types of loadings on the dynamic response of a poroelastic half‐plane. Green's functions presented in this paper can be used to solve a variety of elastodynamic boundary‐value problems and as the kernel functions in the boundary integral equation method. |
