Dynamic fracture analysis of the soil-structure interaction system using the scaled boundary finite element method

摘要

Dynamic fracture analysis of the soil-structure interaction system by using the scaled boundary finite element method is presented in this paper. The polygon scaled boundary finite elements, which have some salient features to model any star convex polygons, are employed for modelling the near-field bounded domains. A procedure for coupling the bounded domains with an improved continued-fraction-based high-order transmitting boundary is established. The formulations of the soil-structure interaction system are coupled via the interaction force vector at the interface. The dynamic stress intensity factors and T-stress are extracted according to the definition of the generalized stress intensity factors. The dynamic stress intensity factors of the coupled system are evaluated accurately and efficiently. Two numerical examples are demonstrated to validate the developed method.
