Dynamic response of elastic plates on the surface of the half‐space

Abstract
A ‘mixed method’ for the dynamic calculation of foundations on soil is presented. The half‐space is computed analytically, the foundation with finite elements. The method is very well suited for the solution of three‐dimensional problems including interaction. Numerical results for a simple case involving a dynamically loaded elastic plate are presented and the influence of plate stiffness is studied.
