Scattering and refracting of plane strain wave by a cylindrical inclusion in fluid-saturated soils

  • Published:

Abstract

The problems involving scattering and refracting of plane strain wave by a cylinder in fluid-saturated soils are studied in this paper. The theoretical solutions for the amplitudes of scattering and refracting are derived on the basis of modified Biot’s theory for two-phase medium in engineering, in which the compressibility of soil grains and the viscous coupling effect between the skeletal frame and the pore fluid are taken into account. Moreover, the amplitude equations of potential function are presented when the fluid-saturated soil cylindrical inclusion is degenerated into cylindrical cavity, rigid cylinder, single phase elastic cylinder and single phase fluid cylinder.
