Diffraction and Vibration Attenuation by Obstacles in Elastic Media

  • Published:
Moscow University Mechanics Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown on the example of elastic \(SH\) wave diffraction by an obstacle like a half-plane that barriers can be used to attenuate vibrations and waves in elastic media. It is found that not only a solid barrier, but also a cut or a natural fracture in soil can protect foundations and buildings against shear bulk waves.
