Oscillations and Waves in Viscoelastic Media with Inclusions | Seismic Wave | Underground Tunnels
Layman Abstract: In recent years, strong earthquakes have shown that not only buildings but also underground tunnels can suffer serious damage. Many of these tunnels lie in earthquake-prone zones and need better protection. This research focuses on understanding how underground structures, like tunnels and pipes, are affected by the waves produced during an earthquake.
When these seismic waves hit underground cavities or tunnels, they bounce, scatter, and interact with each other in complex ways. These wave interactions—called diffraction and interference—can increase the stress on the structures, leading to possible damage. This study uses advanced math and physics to simulate how these waves behave, especially when passing through materials that are not perfectly solid (called "viscoelastic" materials, like certain types of soil or rock).
In particular, the research looks at how waves impact a circular shell buried in the ground. Using mathematical tools and simulations (done in MATLAB), the study calculates how much stress the structure experiences. The results agree well with other experiments and theories, proving the approach is reliable. This work can help engineers design safer underground systems in earthquake zones.
