Transient wave propagation phenomena at visco-elastic half-spaces under distributed surface loadings

This article analyzes the transient wave propagation phenomena that take place at 2D viscoelastic half-spaces subjected to spatially distributed surface loadings and to distinct temporal excitations. It starts with a fairly detailed review of the existing strategies to describe transient analysis fo...
