Basedonthepresentedanalyses,italsoaddressesthedynamicresponseofa rigid massless footing of arbitrary shape resting on the surface of an elastic half-space medium for three modes of vertical, horizontal, and rocking vibrations. The book alsopresentssolutionstothethreepuremodesofvibrationformassiverectangular foundationsbyemployingtheimpedancematchingtechniqueandprovidesdesign charts for these modes of vibrations. The solution for these modes is extended to develop a solution to the dynamics of simultaneous horizontal and rocking motions of a rectangular foundations resting on the surface of elastic half-space medium.Moreover,the bookpresentsthe requiredtheoreticalbackgroundneeded foranalysisofinteractionoftworectangularfoundationsfoundedonthesurfaceof anelastichalf-space.Inadditiontothetheoreticaltopics,thebookdescribesafinite modelto simulate an elastic half-space and introducesexperimentaltechniquesto verifythepresentedsolution.Furthermore,experimentalmethodsare presentedto determinethetwoimportantelasticpropertiesofshearmodulusandPoisson’sratio forthemedium.Inordertoverifythepresenttheoreticalresultssomeexperiments, procedures,andresultsarealsoprovided. This book presents the required theoretical background needed to develop mathematicalmodelsandtheirsolutionsfortheabovetopics.Furthermore,itoffers the engineering information and quantitative data needed for design analysis and applications of the presented analytical procedures for different disciplines such as: mechanical, civil, and bioengineering.
