Abstract
The vibration amplitudes of hammer foundations must be kept within acc eptable limits during operation. A one-dimensional wave equation model based on the finite element method is proposed for the analysis of th ese foundations. The results of the wave equation model are shown to c ompare favourably with some reported solutions and with experimental m easurements. The versatility of the model allows the various component s of the hammer-foundation system to be readily simulated.
