15. |  Foundation Vibration Analysis Using Simple Physical Models By: John P. Wolf - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Publisher: Prentice Hall Publication Date: 11-MAY-1994 Insert Date: 08-AUG-2008 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Foundation Vibration Analysis Using Simple Physical Models This book provides simple physical models to represent the
unbounded soil in time and frequency domain analysis. They do not
supplant the more generally applicable rigorous methods, but rather
supplement them. The physical models used consists of the following
representations: cones based one-dimensional rod theory;
lumped-parameter models with frequency-independent springs,
dashpots, and masses; and prescribed wave patterns in the
horizontal plane. The physical models thus offer a
strength-of-materials approach to foundation dynamics....
