Study of the tension of a heterogeneous hydroelastic system

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze seismic-acoustic wave fields and stress-strain state in a complex heterogeneous seismogenic structure of the contact area of the continental and oceanic crust, taking into account two types of impact: technogenic and pressure of the oceanic water column. The study uses the theory of block structures and the block element method, developed on the basis of a topological approach. It is shown that the contact stress can be considered as a superposition of stress waves occurring at the interface between the liquid and elastic media. The number of waves, their amplitude and frequency are determined by the physical and geometric characteristics of the volume of the liquid, the elastic semi-bounded layer, the elastic foundation, as well as the oscillation frequency of the external harmonic load. The model can be useful in the design of a transport network, production facilities on the coastal territory, since it allows one to assess seismic risks before the start of the process, as well as the risks of associated hazardous exogenous phenomena - landslides, tsunamis, and volcanism activation.
