Dynamic Stress Analysis of a Circular-Lined Tunnel in Composite Strata-SH Wave Incidence by Hui Qi, Yang Zhang, Jing Guo, Fuqing Chu

“…According to the stress and displacement boundary conditions between the composite stratum and the lining, a series of equations are established and are solved by means of Fourier transformation and finite term truncation, and the calculation errors are also discussed. Through programming calculations, the dynamic stress concentration factor (DSCF) of circular tunnels in the two types of composite strata, “hard-over-soft” and “soft-over-hard,” is analyzed when SH waves propagate, and certain conclusions on the scattering of SH waves that are distinguished from the case of single homogeneous layers are reached. …”
