SEISMIC BARRIERS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SURFACE AND HEADWAVES: MULTIPLE SCATTERS AND METAMATERIALS
Н. Ф. Морозов, Vladimir Bratov, С. В. Кузнецов
Abstract
Perspective types of seismic barriers used to protect buildings and structures from the influence of Rayleigh, Rayleigh–Lamb, and Love acoustic surface waves, as well as head SP waves are considered. The barriers are based on multiple scattering elements and metamaterials. A comparison is made with traditional types of homogeneous seismic barriers made of elastic structural materials.
