Dynamic response of an infinite beam resting on a layered poroelastic half-space subjected to moving loads is investigated in this study. The equivalent stiffness of the layered poroelastic half-space is obtained via the transmission and reflection matrices (TRM) method in the frequency wavenumber d

โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents the steady-state displacements and stresses in elastic half-space generated by a surface point load moving with constant speed parallel to the free surface of the half-space. The basic equations are solved by means of integral transforms, resulting in double fold integrals. A numerical technique is proposed to calculate the inner fold integral in wave number domain based on the method of steepest descent, and the time domain responses are obtained by Fourier synthesis over another wavenumber domain. Numerical results for displacement and stress components on the surface and within the half-space are presented for applied surface point loads with various subsonic speeds.

Fundamental solutions of a problem in the theory of elasticity are constructed for a half-space under the action of a load moving at constant velocity which does not change with time in a moving system of coordinates. On the basis of these solutions, the displacements of the medium are determined in
The steady-state response of an axially compressed Euler-Bernoulli beam on an elastic half-space due to a uniformly moving lateral load has been investigated. It is assumed that the beam has a finite width and that the half-space and beam deflections are equal along the center line of the beam. To a
