This book covers advanced topics in dynamic modeling of soil-foundation
interaction, as well as the response of elastic semi-infinite media from
an applications viewpoint. Advanced concepts such as solutions for
analysis of elastic semi-infinite mediums, fluid motion in porous media,
and nonlinearities in dynamic behavior are explained in great detail.
Related theories and numerical analysis for vertical vibration, and
rocking vibration of a rigid rectangular mass-less plate, and horizontal
vibration of a rigid mass-less plate are presented. Throughout the book,
a strong emphasis is placed on applications, and a laboratory model for
elastic half-space medium is provided.
