Engineering scientists have long been interested in calculating the dynamic loads acting in a solid of finite or infinite extent, with heterogeneous properties. This research program is a continuation of this effort with specific application to the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program. In considering the propagation of seismic waves through the earth's crust, and of the resultant ground shaking at a particular constructed facility such as a dam or nuclear power plant, an attempt is made to take account of the earth's inhomogeneity; this however usually leads to severe analytical or computational difficulties. This research program will capitalize on a significant advance that the principal investigator has made in this regard, and will extend it to account for the layered stratification of the earth. The method is expected to be computationally efficient and will be of use in a wide range of earthquake engineering problems, such as the dynamic analysis of structural foundations and underground facilities. The principal investigator is recognized for his expertise in, and contribution to, this area of research. It is expected that the research will provide a significantly improved capability to include the effect of the earth's inhomogeneity on earthquake induced ground motion and the associated response of constructed facilities.

工程科学家长期以来一直对计算作用在具有异质特性的有限或无限范围的固体中的动态载荷感兴趣。 该研究计划是这项工作的延续，具体应用于国家地震减灾计划。 在考虑地震波穿过地壳的传播以及特定建筑设施（如水坝或核电站）所产生的地面震动时，我们试图考虑地球的不均匀性；然而，这通常会导致严重的分析或计算困难。 该研究计划将利用首席研究员在这方面取得的重大进展，并将其扩展到解释地球的分层。 该方法预计计算效率高，可用于广泛的地震工程问题，例如结构基础和地下设施的动力分析。 主要研究者因其在该研究领域的专业知识和贡献而受到认可。 预计该研究将提供显着改进的能力，包括地球不均匀性对地震引起的地面运动的影响以及建筑设施的相关响应。
