Title: Dynamic stress wave reflections/attenuation: earthquake simulation in centrifuge soil models

Journal Article · · Int. J. Earthquake Eng. Struct. Dyn.; (United States)

In this investigation, the feasibility of earthquake simulation in centrifuge soil experiments is studied. The strong detrimental effect of standing waves for such an endeavour is clearly shown. A modest degree of success toward producing a model earthquake is reported via two devices--a certain kind of physically tuned internal excito and an effective absorbent material at the walls.
