Some Problems of Static Deformation of the Earth
نویسندگان
چکیده
The static deformation of gravitating elastic earth model is studied in some detail. It is found that the problem becomes well posed if we discard the stress-strain relation in the liquid core. A convenient formulation, in which derivative of density does not appear, is proposed in the liquid core by introducing a new variable. Static solutions obtained by the present theory are compared with dynamic solutions in which the liquid core causes no trouble. The differences between them are within 0.2%. The elastic deformation due to earth's rotation and the deformation of degree 1 modes induced by surface loads are also computed.

Stability assessment of the Farrokhi earth embankment dam using the pseudo-static and deformation based methods
The behavior of earth dams has particular complexities against dynamic forces and its assessment requiresdetailed and scientific analysis. The Farrokhi earth dam is a heterogeneous type with vertical clay core, built 150 km away from Birjand and 41 km away from Qaen on the Farrokhi River. There are concernsregarding the stability of this dam in the event of a future severe earthquake especially...
متن کاملDeformation Performance of the Karkheh Earth Dam with Mixed and Pure Clay Coreunder Seismic Excitations
The number of constructed dams has been largely increased due to high demands of water supplies, and earth dams are the most common types since they are more compatible to the environment. Nevertheless, the stability of these important structures during earthquakes has to be carefully evaluated and guaranteed. In the past, earth dams usually designed with pure clay core, but in recent decades t...
متن کاملDevelopment and Application of an ALE Large Deformation Formulation
This paper presents a complete derivation and implementation of the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the simulation of nonlinear static and dynamic problems in solid mechanics. While most of the previous work done on ALE for dynamic applications was mainly based on operator split and explicit calculations, this work derives the quasi-static and dynamic ALE equations in its si...
متن کاملPrediction of Permanent Earthquake-Induced Deformation in Earth Dams and Embankments Using Artificial Neural Networks
This research intends to develop a method based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict permanent earthquake-induced deformation of the earth dams and embankments. For this purpose, data sets of observations from 152 published case histories on the performance of the earth dams and embankments, during the past earthquakes, was used. In order to predict earthquake-induced deformation o...
متن کاملA Static Flexure of Thick Isotropic Plates Using Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory
A Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) for the analysis of isotropic plate, taking into account transverse shear deformation effect as well as transverse normal strain effect, is presented. The theory presented herein is built upon the classical plate theory. In this displacement-based, trigonometric shear deformation theory, the in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in ...
