Attenuation of Stress Waves in Bi-Linear Materials
Publication: Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division
Volume 87, Issue 3
Abstract
One-dimensional wave equations are derived and it is demonstrated that, beyond given distance from surface, intensity of peak stress and particle velocity depends only on single parameter; result is of significance in establishing physical characteristics of granular soils which are subjected to nuclear surfact blast pressures.
