The series solution of wave functions for 2D scattering and diffraction of plane SH (shear
horizontal) waves induced by a U‐shaped canyon is proposed herein to account for the …

Recent researches have revealed that the seismic ground response above tunnels can be
different from the free-field motion during earthquakes. Nevertheless, to the best of the …

Topographies have significant effects on seismic waves. The wavefunction expansion
method has been frequently employed to study the topographic effect because this method …

ABSTRACT A special indirect boundary element method (IBEM) is proposed to investigate
