Description: Miscellaneous Paper
Abstract: In order to overcome the mathematical difficulties in the solution of one-dimensional stress wave propagation in soils, real soil stress-strain relationships are often idealized by various simple mathematical models. A considerable body of scientific literature on one-dimensional stress wave propagation for such models has been published in recent years by various researchers, both in the United States and abroad. The pertinent literature applicable to one-dimensional stress wave propagation in soils are collected and studied in detail. Comparative studies are made with the various mathematical models for a wave propagation problem. Fortran computer programs for each of the analytical solutions are included as appendixes.
