The MS Excel spreadsheet format is used for maximum portability. Microsoft provides MS Excel Viewer free of charge at its Internet web site. The spreadsheets are kept as simple as possible. If MS Excel complains at the start about the security level of macros please click on Tools then Macro then Security and adjust the security level to at least medium. The spreadsheet must be exited and re-entered for the change made to take place. The spreadsheets are applicable to the vase studies and examples considered in this monograph.

6 Vibration Properties of a Shallow Foundation for Compressor The work book is referred in Section 7.4.2. A work sheet from the work book is shown in Fig. 6 Wolf (1994) described a discrete element model for coupled rocking and horizontal displacement of foundation of a three-cylinder compressor. The 2D discrete element model is shown in Fig. 7.52. Soil reaction to foundation movement is considered in the horizontal direction and in rotation by elastic springs and dashpots. The elastic spring and dashpot with negative coefficients are artificial and are introduced by Wolf (1994). The two triangles under the foundation represent trapped soil beneath foundation for Poisson’s ratio greater than 1/3 (Wolf, 1994). The relationship for soil reaction moment contains a convolution integral in time. As an alternative to the recursive evaluation of the convolution integral, a physical discrete element model, which incorporates rigorously the convolution implicitly, is used according to Wolf (1994). The equation of the model rotational motion is: (ΔMθ + I) · θ¨o + Kθ · θo −

Kθ · (θo − θ1 ) + Cθ · θ˙o − C · e · u˙ o − K · e · uo = M (1) 3
