M. W. Aung, Auteur ; Leong, E. C., Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1294-1298 Note générale : Géotechnique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Finite-element  method  Continuous  surface  waves  Dispersion  curve  Near-field  effects  Semi-infinite  domain  Nonreflecting  boundary Résumé : Near-field effects are inherent in continuous surface wave (CSW) tests. Such effects on the dispersion curves can be studied using the finite-element (FE) method. However, near-field effects may be obscured by boundary effects in a FE model. Although the use of local nonreflecting boundary conditions (NRBCs) may alleviate the problem, these need to be placed sufficiently far away to be effective. Quantitative guidelines on domain size with NRBCs are still lacking. This paper provides specific guidelines to determine the domain size in terms of the wavelength-to-domain size ratio, λ*/l*. With local NRBCs, numerical errors were found to be negligible when the domain size (l*) was extended to twice the longest wavelength (λ*). However, in modeling soft soil deposits in which shear-wave velocity (Vs) is less than 100  m/s, a smaller domain size (e.g., λ*/l* = 2) is sufficient.
