A novel structure of sheet-pile groin consists of row piles and tied sheet has been introduced to resist the impact of tidal bore in recent years. However, the dynamic responses of the structure under tidal bore have not been carefully studied before. This paper proposed an analytical solution for the dynamic responses of the sheet-pile groin subjected to a transient lateral excitation. In order to take the flexural and longitudinal vibrations into consideration, the piles and the sheet are modeled by the Timoshenko beam (TB) theory and a one-dimensional rod, respectively. The soil around the piles is simulated by the dynamic Winkler foundation model. The excitation is considered by a lateral concentrated point load acting on the front pile. On this basis, the governing equations are constructed in time domain and solved in frequency domain, while the time-domain responses are finally obtained using the discrete Inverse Fourier Transform. The accuracy of the presented analytical solution is validated by comparing with the results obtained from the FEM simulation and a model test. The effects of properties of the sheet, the piles and the soil on the dynamic responses are investigated through a comprehensive parametric study.
The design of retaining walls requires the complete knowledge of the earth pressure distribution behind the wall. Due to the complex soil-structure effect, the estimation of earth pressure is not an easy task; even in the static case. The problem bec
We provide a new estimator of integral operators with smooth kernels, obtained from a set of scattered and noisy impulse responses. The proposed approach relies on the formalism of smoothing in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and on the choice of a
Crack microgeometries pose a paramount influence on effective elastic characteristics and sonic responses. Geophysical exploration based on seismic methods are widely used to assess and understand the presence of fractures. Numerical simulation as a
Air absorption is an important effect to consider when simulating room acoustics as it leads to significant attenuation in high frequencies. In this study, an offline method for adding air absorption to simulated room impulse responses is devised. Th
External and internal factors may cause a systems parameter to vary with time before it stabilizes. This drift induces a regime shift when the parameter crosses a bifurcation. Here, we study the case of an infinite dimensional system: a time-delayed
