Abstract
A theoretical study is presented on the usefulness of a row of rigid piles as an isolating barrier for elastic waves. The problem is formulated as one of multiple scattering and diffraction. A set of cylindrical coordinate systems is used in such a way that it allows solving in an exact form the problem of multiple scattering for circular cross‐sections. Some numerical results are presented. The effectiveness of this isolation system is discussed.Keywords
