TL;DR: In this paper, the procedures to perform nonlinear soil-structure-interaction analysis in the time domain are summarized, where the nonlinearity is restricted to the structure and possibly an adjacent irregular soil region.
Abstract: The procedures to perform nonlinear soil-structure-interaction analysis in the time domain are summarized. The nonlinearity is restricted to the structure and possibly an adjacent irregular soil region. The unbounded soil (far field) must remain linear in this formulation. Besides the direct method where local frequency-independent boundary conditions are enforced on the artificial boundary, various formulations based on the substructure method are addressed, ranging from a discrete model with springs, dashpots and masses to boundary-element methods with convolution integrals involving either the dynamic-stiffness coefficients or the Green's functions in the time domain via the iterative hybrid-frequency-time-domain analysis procedure with the nonlinearities affecting only the right-hand side of the equations of motion.

TL;DR: The scaled boundary finite element method as discussed by the authors is a semi-analytical technique that combines the advantages of the finite element and the boundary element methods with unique properties of its own, such as axisymmetry.
Abstract: The scaled-boundary finite element method is a novel semi-analytical technique, combining the advantages of the finite element and the boundary element methods with unique properties of its own. This paper develops a new virtual work formulation and modal interpretation of the method for elastostatics. This formulation follows a similar procedure to the traditional virtual work derivation of the standard finite element method. As well as making the method more accessible, this approach leads to new techniques for the treatment of body loads, side-face loads and axisymmetry that simplify implementation. The paper fully develops the new formulation, and provides four examples illustrating the versatility, accuracy and efficiency of the scaled boundary finite-element method. Both bounded and unbounded domains are treated, together with problems involving stress singularities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a commercial finite element (FE) code to study the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in annular structures and demonstrated the potential of the FE method for problems when an analytical solution is not possible because of complicated component geometry.
Abstract: This paper reports on the application of guided waves techniques to nondestructively determine the structural integrity of engineering components. Specifically, this research uses a commercial finite element (FE) code to study the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in annular structures. In order to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed FE technique, the propagation of guided waves in a flat plate is examined first. Next, the propagation of guided waves in thick ring structures is investigated. Finally, these FE results are compared to analytical and experimental results. The results of this study clearly illustrate the effectiveness of using the FE method to model guided wave propagation problems and demonstrate the potential of the FE method for problems when an analytical solution is not possible because of “complicated” component geometry.
