Procedures for Prediction of Ground Shock Phenomena Based on One-dimensional Shock Propagation Considerations
Author: James V. Zaccor
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Shock waves
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The report describes a definitive experimental study in which shock-induced square-wave pulses in soil were observed to give way to decaying pulse shapes, as in a gas shock tube, and rapid attenuation of peak stress occurred thereafter due to nonlinear propagation in the rarefaction. In the study three different duration pulses were applied to an 8-ft vertical column of granular material confined under boundary conditions leading to a stress-strain (Sigma - Epsilon) behavior described by d to the 2nd power Sigma/d Epsilon to the 2nd power> 0, i.e., a strain-hardening type of response. Applied stresses ranged from 50 to 500 psi. The report describes a simple modification to be applied to the prediction procedure described in the first report of this series in order to take into account, to a first approximation, the nonlinear propagation of unloading waves that occurs in real media because of nonlinear stress-strain behavior in the unloading branch. The procedure which predicts stress and motion histories based on the conservation laws, a measured constitutive relationship, and the applied pressure-time profile, is demonstrated by predicting the entire sequence of an experimentally observed square-wave pulse transformation into a decaying pulse.

Wave-propagation Studies in Laterally Confined Columns of Sand
Author: Warren J. Baker
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Seismic wave propagation
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
An experimental study of the relationship between pertinent wave-propagation parameters and the one-dimensional stress-strain behavior of two sands was conducted. The stress-strain relation for the sands was characterized by a nonlinear strain-hardening behavior. The nature of the stress-strain curve implied that shocks should form or be sustained in the soil. This phenomenon was studied by observing the dynamic and kinematic characteristics generated by a soft-fronted stress pulse applied at one end of a long slender column of laterally confined sand. To develop a method of predicting the kinematics of wave propagation from the stress-strain curve, the observed wave-propagation parameters were related to laboratory stress-strain curves. A unique sample container, loading system, and instrumentation system was developed. The experiments approximated one-dimensional conditions up to reflected stresses of 1,600 psi. The results indicated the shocking-up of the soft-fronted input pulse that could be predicted from the laboratory stress-strain curve. The particle-velocity versus wave-velocity relationships dictated the change in shape of the kinematic pulse and could be predicted using a secant modulus analysis technique. A very high stress versus time gradient (rise times less than 50 microsec) was observed to form as the wave propagated through the soil.
