Elastic-slip interface effect on the diffraction of plane waves around a saturated lining structure in saturated soil

摘要

By combining Biot's dynamic wave theory with the elastic and slip interface theory, the scattering of plane waves around a saturated lining structure embedded in saturated soil is studied. The lining structure is assumed to be arbitrary shape. Separating variable method of Helmholtz equations leads to the semi-analytical solutions of the potentials. By using the conformal mapping method, the lining structures of arbitrary shape can be mapped to the cirque at the same centre with different radii. The elastic and slip material constants of interface are introduced to analyze the effect of interfacial properties. The dynamic stress and pore pressure are solved by applying the displacement and stress boundary conditions with interface effect. In numerical examples, the dynamic stress and pore pressure under different interface coefficients (normal and circumferential spring coefficients and slip coefficient) are analyzed. It is found that the effect of normal spring coefficient is larger than that of circumferential spring coefficients. The imperfect interface effect on the dynamic stress and pore pressure is also related with the wave frequencies.
