Semi-analytical Evaluation Of Integral Forms Associated With Lamb's Problem

摘要

The present work gives solutions of integrals resulting from Lamb's problem solution by an accurate and efficient approximation procedure. The formulation of the solutions requires the study of Green's function of Lamb problem solution. Unfortunately, this problem is associated to great mathematical difficulties and needs the evaluation of some complex integrals. We handled these integrals by an appropriate strategy based on decoupling their effects mathematically and solved by using the least squares method. The present solutions can be applied to study the dynamical interaction between soil and structures, to be used to determine the transient wave fields caused by a seismic source, and also to assess numerical computations with a different numerical methods program. An example of validation is taken to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.
