Dynamics of an elastic half-space with a reinforced cylindrical cavity under moving loads

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Partial separation of variables and reexpansion of cylindrical and plane waves are used to find the solution describing the uniform motion of a load along a thin circular cylindrical shell in an elastic half-space with the free surface parallel to the axis of the shell. This is a model problem for studying the dynamics of tunnels and shallow-buried pipelines under transport loads. Dispersion curves for the cases of sliding and tight contact between the shell and the half-space are plotted and analyzed. The effect of the shell parameters on the stress–strain state of the half-space is examined
