A multi-transmitting boundary is a local artificial boundary widely used for numerically simulating seismic site effects. However, similar to other artificial boundaries, the multi-transmitting boundary has instability issue in numerical simulation. Based on the concept of multi-directional transmitting formula, a strategy for eliminating the high-frequency instability of the transmitting boundary is studied and a measure is proposed using a neighbour node of a boundary node to realize smoothing filtering. The proposed measure is verified through numerical analysis. The smoothing coefficient chosen for this measure provides a reference for deriving the coefficient of multidirectional transmitting formula in the time domain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
