Abstract
Mechanics of advanced materials, such as poro-, visco-or poroviscoelastic materials, is relevant to such disciplines as geophysics, geo-and biomechanics, seismology, constricting. Because of the complexity of the inertial viscosity and mechanical phases coupling in porous media most transient response problems can only be solved via numerical methods. The present work is dedicated to numerical modelling of a problem of a Heaviside-type impact load acting on a brittle slab situated above a fluid saturated foundation. Slab is treated as elastic or poroelastic rock. Fluid saturated foundation is a soil and modeled as a poroviscoelastic media. Poroviscoelastic formulation is based on Biot’s theory of poroelasticity in combination with elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle. Classical models of viscoelasticity are employed, such as Kelvin-Voight model, standard linear solid model and model with weakly singular kernel. The problem is treated in Laplace domain. Direct boundary integral method approach is used to obtain solution. Modified Durbin’s algorithm of numerical inversion of Laplace transform is applied to perform solution in time domain. A problem of Heaviside-type vertical load acting on a slab bonded on a poroviscoelastic halfspace is considered. The comparison of dynamic responses when poroviscoelastic halfspace is described by different viscoelactic models is presented.
