Abstract:
An elastic wave damping structure can include a structural arrangement of at least two elements, each with an inner volume and containing a medium resistant to passage of an elastic wave. Example elements can be earth boreholes or water pylons. The structural arrangement can taper from an upper aperture to a lower aperture, the structural arrangement defining a protection zone at the upper aperture. The structural arrangement can be configured to attenuate power from the anticipated elastic wave within the protection zone relative to power from the anticipated elastic wave external to the protection zone. A grouping may include elements that form acute or obtuse angles with a direction of an elastic wave to attenuate wave power. High-value buildings or other structure in a protection zone on land or in water can be substantially shielded from seismic or water waves.

Claim (Index 1):
An elastic wave damping structure comprising:\n a structural arrangement of at least two elements, each element defining an inner volume and containing therein a medium resistant to passage of an anticipated elastic wave having a wavelength at least one order of magnitude greater than a cross-sectional dimension of the inner volume of the elements; and the structural arrangement tapering from an upper aperture to a lower aperture, the structural arrangement defining a protection zone at the upper aperture, and wherein the structural arrangement is configured to attenuate power from the anticipated elastic wave within the protection zone relative to power from the anticipated elastic wave external to the protection zone.
