Elastodynamic problem on tensor random fields with fractal and Hurst effects

This paper reports a cellular automata (CA) study of the transient dynamic responses of anti-plane shear Lamb’s problems on random fields (RFs) with fractal and Hurst effects. Both Cauchy and Dagum random field models are employed to capture the combined effects of spatial randomness in both mass density and stiffness tensor fields. First, with a dyadic representation, we formulate a second-rank anti-plane stiffness tensor random field (TRF)...
