Wave-Induced Dynamic Response of a Transversely Isotropic and Multilayered Poroelastic Seabed in Shallow Water
Publication: International Journal of Geomechanics
Volume 24, Issue 10
Abstract
In shallow water regions, ocean waves commonly propagate in the form of cnoidal waves, with the response induced in the seabed obviously being different from that involving conventional linear waves. Computational models of waves and seabeds were established based on cnoidal wave theory and Biot’s completely dynamic consolidation theory, respectively. A semianalytical solution for the dynamic response of the multilayered, transversely isotropic (TI), poroelastic seabed induced by cnoidal waves was derived via the scalar potential function and the dual variable and position method. The reliability and accuracy of the developed semianalytical solution was verified against existing solutions and experimental data. This parametric study demonstrated that cnoidal waves have a significant effect on the dynamic response of the seabed compared to linear waves. Also, the induced pore pressure/stresses and corresponding liquefaction potential were significantly affected by the anisotropy and layering of the seabed material. The newly developed solution can serve as a useful tool for estimating the liquefaction potential of a TI and multilayered poroelastic seabed in shallow water.
