This letter deals with the excitation of UHF radio wa¨es in tunnels. It is found that the antenna position and the antenna gain are two major factors that affect the excitation of radio wa¨es in tunnels. The antenna in the middle position and with high gain is preferable. Furthermore, the enhancemen

✦ Synopsis
Measurements of the propagation of UHF radio wa¨es in two trapezoidal tunnels are reported. Values of propagation loss in dBr100 m are gi¨en. It is found that the propagation attenuates at least 900 MHz. In addition, a portable FM radio system operating at 900 MHz is tested in one tunnel. It achie¨es a highly intelligible communication range of 230 m.

A discrete-time wave propagation formulation of the seismic response of tall buildings is introduced. The building is modeled as a layered medium, similar to a layered soil medium, and is subjected to vertically propagating seismic shear waves. Soil layers and the bedrock under the foundation are in
The solenoidal basis functions defined on tetrahedrons are modified to permit the analysis of the problem of scattering of electromagnetic wa¨es by inhomogeneous dielectric objects. In the analysis of the scattering of EM plane wa¨es by an inhomogeneous dielectric cube, we compare our results with t
It is well known that an elastic homogeneous half-space does not allow torsional surface waves to propagate. The present paper attempts to find out the possibility of propagation of such waves in a viscoelastic half-space. The study reveals that although the homogeneous elastic half-space does not
The computational modelling of localization of deformation in cohesive-frictional materials must be carried out in a proper, accurate and efficient manner. A proper solution can be obtained by using an enriched material description such as a non-local damage model or Perzyna's viscoplasticity model.
