## Slip on a Joint Induced by a Propagating Harmonic Shear Wave

### Problem Statement

This problem concerns the effects of a planar discontinuity on the propagation of an incident shear wave. Two homogeneous, isotropic, semi-infinite elastic regions, separated by a planar discontinuity with a limited shear strength, are shown in Figure 1. A normally incident, plane-harmonic shear wave will cause slip at the discontinuity, resulting in frictional energy dissipation. Thus, the energy will be reflected, transmitted and absorbed at the discontinuity. The problem is modeled with 3DEC, and the results are used to determine the coefficients of transmission, reflection and absorption. These coefficients are compared with ones given by an analytical solution (Miller 1978).

Figure 1: Transmission and reflection of incident harmonic wave at a discontinuity.

### Analytic Solution

The coefficients of reflection (R), transmission (T ) and absorption (A) given by Miller (1978) for the case of uniform material are

$R = \sqrt{{{E_R} \over {E_I}}}$
(1)$T = \sqrt{{{E_T} \over {E_I}}}$
$A = \sqrt{1 - R^2 - T^2}$

where $$E_I$$, $$E_T$$ and $$E_R$$ represent the energy flux per unit area per cycle of oscillation associated with the incident, transmitted and reflected waves, respectively. The coefficient $$A$$ is a measure of the energy absorbed at the discontinuity. The energy flux $$E_I$$ is given by

(2)$E_I = {\int^{t_1 + T}_{t_1}}\ \sigma_s\ v_s\ dt$

where:

$$T$$ = $$(2 \pi) / \omega$$ = the period for the incident wave;

$$\sigma_s$$ = shear stress;

$$v_s$$ = particle velocity in the $$x$$-direction; and

$$\omega$$ = frequency of incident wave (radian/sec).

For elastic media,

$\sigma_s = \rho\ c\ v_s$

Hence,

$E_I = \rho\ c\ {\int^{t_1 + T}_{t_1}}\ v^2_s\ dt$

in which $$c$$ is the velocity of the propagating shear wave.

The energy flux of the incident wave, $$E_I$$, is evaluated at Point A (see Figure 1) for no slip at the discontinuity. The energy flux of the transmitted wave, $$E_T$$, is evaluated at Point B for the case of slip at the discontinuity. The energy flux of the reflected wave, $$E_R$$, is calculated by determining the difference of velocities in two cases: slip and no slip.

Numerical Model

The numerical results are determined for four values of the dimensionless frequency $$\omega \gamma U/\tau_s$$, where $$\gamma = (\rho G)^{1/2}$$, $$\tau_s$$ = discontinuity cohesion, $$U$$ = displacement amplitude of incident wave, $$\rho$$ = density of the media, and $$G$$ = shear modulus of the media.

The problem geometry modeled by 3DEC is shown in Figure 2. The media were modeled with elastic, fully deformable blocks of height ($$h/ 2$$), width $$b$$ and length $$l$$. The blocks are separated by a planar discontinuity extending in the $$xz$$-plane. The blocks were internally discretized into tetrahedral zones, as shown in Figure 3. Nonreflecting boundary conditions were used on the top and bottom of the model. Displacements at boundaries along the $$yz$$-plane at $$x$$ = 0 and $$x$$ = $$b$$ were restrained in the $$y$$-direction to simulate plane shear wave conditions. Displacements at boundaries were restrained in the $$z$$-direction along the $$xy$$-plane at $$z$$ = 0 and $$z$$ = l to simulate the plane-strain condition.

### Material Properties

The material properties of the elastic media and planar discontinuity are given in the following two tables.:

 Mass density density 2,650 kg/m3 Shear modulus shear 10,000 MPa Bulk modulus bulk 16,667 MPa
 Normal stiffness stiffness-normal 10,000 MPa/m Shear stiffness stiffness-shear 10,000 MPa/m Friction angle friction 0 Cohesion cohesion 2.5, 0.5, 0.1 and 0.02 MPa

The harmonic shear stress applied at the bottom boundary has the following characteristics:

maximum stress of incident wave: 1.0 MPa

frequency of incident wave: 1 Hz

type of harmonic wave: sinusoidal

Note that the magnitude of the incident wave must be doubled in the numerical model to account for the simultaneous presence of the nonreflecting boundary.

### Results

The analytical solution forwave propagation through a slipping discontinuity (Miller 1978) assumes a Mohr-Coulomb discontinuity failure criterion with constant cohesion. In 3DEC, however, when discontinuity shear and/or tensile strength is exceeded, the cohesion and tension are ignored in all subsequent calculations. Because the analytical solution assumes a constant discontinuity cohesion regardless of stress history, a FISH function which prevents setting cohesion and tension to zero when discontinuity shear and/or tensile strength is exceeded was prepared (see the file “sihsw.fis” below).

An initial run assumed that the discontinuity remains elastic by setting the discontinuity cohesion to 2.5 MPa. A stress wave of amplitude 1 MPa and frequency 1 Hz was applied at the base of the model. It should be noted that the displacements and velocities are determined at the nodal points of the tetrahedron. The stresses, however, are determined at the centroid of the tetrahedron. The time histories of shear stress, velocity and displacement are monitored at Points A (40, 15, −200) and B (40, 15, 200). The linear history of stresses are monitored close to Points A and B. The shear stresses at Points A and B are shown in Figure 4. From the amplitude of the stress history at A and B, it is clear that there was perfect transmission of the wave through the discontinuity. It is also clear from Figure 4 that the nonreflecting boundary condition provides perfect absorption of normally incident waves.

In the next run, the cohesion was lowered to 0.5 MPa to permit slip along the discontinuity. The recorded shear stresses at Points A and B are shown in Figure 5. The peak stress at Point A is the superposition of the incident wave and the wave reflected from the slipping discontinuity. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the shear stress at Points A and B for a discontinuity cohesion of 0.1 and 0.02 MPa. It can be seen in Figure 5 through Figure 7 that the shear stress of Point B is limited by the discontinuity strength at 0.5, 0.1, and 0.02 MPa, respectively.

Figure 4: Shear stress vs time at Points A and B for the case of an elastic discontinuity (cohesion = 2.5 MPa).

Figure 5: Shear stress vs time at Points A and B for the case of an elastic discontinuity (cohesion = 0.5 MPa).

Figure 6: Shear stress vs time at Points A and B for the case of an elastic discontinuity (cohesion = 0.1 MPa).

Figure 7: Shear stress vs time at Points A and B for the case of an elastic discontinuity (cohesion = 0.02 MPa).

The energy flux, $$E_I$$, is evaluated using Equation (2) at Point A for non-slipping discontinuities (i.e., cohesion = 2.5 MPa). $$E_T$$ is evaluated at Point B for the slipping discontinuity (i.e., cohesion = 0.5, 0.1 and 0.02MPa). $$E_R$$ is determined at PointB by taking the difference in velocity from the runs with slipping and non-slipping discontinuities. The coefficients of reflection (R), transmission (T ), and absorption (A) are computed using Equation (1) (see FISH function fenergy in file “sihsw.fis” below), and are plotted in Figure 8, along with the analytical solution (Miller 1978). The 3DEC results agree very well with the analytical solution (Figure 8).

## Line Source in an Infinite Elastic Medium with a Discontinuity

### Problem Statement

This problem concerns the dynamic behavior of a single discontinuity under explosive loading. The problem, shown in Figure 9, consists of a planar crack of infinite lateral extent in an elastic medium, and a dynamic load at some distance, $$h$$, from the discontinuity. This problem was modeled using 3DEC to determine the dynamic response of the discontinuity for a line source (in the $$z$$-direction). The slip of the interface at a Point P, obtained by numerical analysis using 3DEC, is compared with the closed-form solution derived by Day (1985).

Figure 9: Problem geometry for an explosive source near a slip-prone discontinuity.

### Analytic Solution

The closed-form solution for crack slip as a function of time was derived by Day (1985) and is given by

(3)$\delta u (x,t) = {{2m_o\ \beta^2}\over {\pi\ \rho\ \alpha^2}}\ Re \ \bigl({{p\ \eta_\alpha\ \eta_\beta} \over {R(p)}}\bigr) \ \bigl(\tau + {{2r} \over {\alpha}}\bigr)^{-1/2}\ \tau^{-1/2} \ H(\tau)$

where

$$r$$ = $$(x^2 + h^2)^{1/2}$$, distance from the point source to the point on the crack where the slip is monitored;

$$H(\tau)$$ = step function;

$$\tau$$ = $$t - (r/\alpha)$$;

$$m_o$$ = source strength;

$$\alpha$$ = velocity of pressure wave;

$$\beta$$ = velocity of shear wave;

$$\rho$$ = density;

$$\eta_\alpha$$ = $${(\alpha^{-2} - p^2)}^{1/2}, Re\ \eta_\alpha\ \ge\ 0$$;

$$\eta_\beta$$ = $${(\beta^{-2} - p^2)}^{1/2}, Re\ \eta_\beta \ \ge\ 0$$;

$$R(p)$$ = $${(1 - 2\beta^2\ p^2)}^2 + 4\beta^4\ \eta_\alpha\ \eta_\beta\ p^2 + 2\beta\ \eta_\beta\ \gamma$$; and

$$p~$$ = $${{1} \over {r^2}} \biggl[ \ \bigl(\tau + {{r} \over {\alpha}}\bigr)x + i\bigl(\tau + {{2r} \over {\alpha}}\bigr)^{1/2}\ \tau^{1/2}\ h\ \biggr]$$.

The slip response of the discontinuity for any source history, $$S(t)$$, can be obtained by convolution of Figure 9 and the source function, $$S(t)$$:

$\begin{split}S(t) = \left\{\begin{matrix} 0.5 [1 - \cos(\pi t / 0.6)] & t < 0.6\\ 1.0 \phantom{[1 - \cos(\pi t / 0.6)]} & t \ge 0.6 \end{matrix}\right.\end{split}$

Figure 10 shows the dimensionless analytical results of slip history at a Point P for a smooth step function, and for the following values of the variables: $$\alpha^2 = 3\beta^2$$, $$h = x$$ and $$\gamma = 0$$. The analytic solution is implemented in FISH function fana slp (listed below).

Figure 10: Dimensionless analytical results of slip history at Point P (dimensionless slip = $$(4h \rho \beta^2/m_o)\delta u$$, dimensionless time = $$t\beta / h$$) (Day 1985).

### Model Setup

Figure 11 shows the problem geometry modeled by 3DEC. The source is located at A ($$x$$ = 0 and $$z$$ = 2 $$h$$), and the discontinuity is located at $$z = h$$. The dynamic input was applied at the semicircular boundary of radius 0.05 h. The slip movement was monitored at Point P on the discontinuity.

The continuous medium was modeled with elastic, fully deformable blocks, as shown in Figure 12, and each block was further discretized into tetrahedral zones. In order to generate only one zone in the $$y$$-direction, the thickness of the block in the $$y$$-direction and the average edge length of the tetrahedron were assumed to be the same. The average edge length was 0.065 $$h$$. All of the joints except the discontinuity were “joined” in order to model a continuous elastic medium. The discontinuity was assigned a high normal stiffness and high tensile strength in order to meet the assumption implied in the analytical solution.

Nonreflecting boundary conditions were applied along the horizontal boundaries at the top and bottom of the model and along the vertical boundary at $$x$$ = 4 $$h$$. A symmetric boundary condition was applied along the vertical boundary at $$x$$ = 0. In order to simulate plane-strain conditions, displacement in the $$y$$-direction is restrained along $$xz$$-planes at $$y$$ = 0 and $$y$$ = 0.065 $$h$$.

Figure 11: Problem geometry and boundary conditions for numerical model.

Figure 12: 3DEC model showing semicircular source and “joined” blocks used to provide appropriate zoned discretization.

### Properties of Joints and Continuous Medium

The following properties were used for the elastic blocks.

 Geometric scale $$h$$ = 10, 000 MPa/m Mass density density 10,000 MPa/m Shear modulus shear 100 Pa Bulk modulus bulk 166.67 Pa

The Mohr-Coulomb joint constitutive relation was used in the analysis. The specific 3DEC parameters used for the joint relation are listed below.

 Normal stiffness stiffness-normal 10,000 Pa/m Shear stiffness stiffness-shear 0.1 Pa/m Friction angle friction 0 Cohesion cohesion 0

Radial velocities corresponding to the dynamic solution for a line source in an infinite medium were enforced at the semicircular boundary. To avoid problems with the singularity at the source, dynamic input was applied over a surface 0.05 $$h$$ from the nominal point source.

3DEC analysis with both velocity and pressure input showed that velocity input gives a better match with the analytical solution than pressure input. The velocity boundary provides a more accurate representation of the dynamic stress than the pressure boundary, because in pressure input, the source function is simply scaled by static stress magnitude and neglects the inertial effects of dynamic stress at the input boundary.

The radial displacement for a line source given by Lemos (1987) is

$u = - {{1} \over {2\ \pi\ \alpha}}\ \ {{t} \over {r^2}}\ \ {\biggl[{{t^2\ \alpha^2} \over {r^2}} - 1 \biggr]}^{-1/2}\ ,\ \ \ \ \ t > r/\alpha$

where $$r$$ is the radial distance.

The corresponding velocity is

(4)$v = - {{1} \over {2\ \pi\ \alpha}}\ \ {{1} \over {r^2}}\ \ {\biggl[{{t^2\ \alpha^2} \over {r^2}} - 1 \biggr]}^{-3/2}\ ,\ \ \ \ \ t > r/\alpha$

The actual input velocity record at $$r = 0.05 h$$, as shown in Figure 13, was obtained by convoluting Equation (4) and Equation (3).

Figure 13: Input radial velocity time history prescribed at $$r = 0.05\ h$$ (dimensionless velocity = $$(h^2\rho\beta / m_o)v$$, dimensionless time = $$\tau\beta/ h)$$.

Velocity history at the boundary at $$r = 0.05 h$$ is calculated in the FISH function fvel inp (listed below).

### Results

The dimensionless slip at Point P is plotted against the dimensionless time, and is shown in Figure 14. The dimensionless slip is compared with the analytical solution given by Day (1985). Velocity input was used on the semicircular region at $$r = 0.05 h$$ for 3DEC. The error at the peak slip for 3DEC is 1.7%.

The results shown in Figure 14 were obtained with a mesh of maximum zone length of 0.065 $$h$$. The slip response on the discontinuity involves higher frequency components because of zero friction along the discontinuity. This requires a finer mesh for accurate representation.

The dimensionless slip in Figure 14 for 3DEC analysis shows a good agreement with the analytical solution until the dimensionless time of 1.49. The results show, after dimensionless time of 1.49, a considerable deviation, which can be attributed to boundary reflections.

Nonreflecting boundaries are used along the top, bottom, and right-hand side boundaries. Such viscous boundaries, designed to absorb normally incident $$p-$$ and $$s$$-waves, cannot be fully effective in this dynamic slip problem because the discontinuity crosses the boundary. Viscous boundaries, however, are preferable to roller boundaries.
