Abstract
In this paper, the dynamic responses of a plate on layered transversely isotropic (TI) poroelastic subgrade under moving thermo-mechanical loads are investigated. Based on the thermodynamics, poroelastic mechanics and the Kirchhoff's thin plate theory, the governing equations of the plate and layered TI saturated subgrade are derived in the wavenumber domain. Then, by introducing the flexibility coefficient of the layered TI poroelastic subgrade and the plate-subgrade interface condition, the solution of the plate-subgrade dynamic interaction is obtained through the extended precise integration method. After the presented method is validated, parametric studies are carried out to confirm the influences of the thermal load, plate-subgrade modulus ratio, plate thickness, and the speed of moving load. Parametric analysis shows that the effect of the thermal load cannot be ignored when considering the plate-subgrade dynamic interaction. In addition, the plate-subgrade modulus ratio, plate thickness, and the speed of moving load have a significant effect on the plate-subgrade dynamic interaction.
