Effect of dynamic visco-elasticity on vertical and torsional vibrations of a half-space

摘要

By expressing the dynamic visco-elastic characteristic of a material in terms of the complex shear modulus, the vertical vibrations of a visco-elastic half-space as well as that of a mass in visco-elastic half-space are considered here. Torsional vibrations of a visco-elastic half-space is also considered. Numerical results are derived for two cases and shown graphically.
