Abstract

Methods of computing dynamic structural response, including interaction between the structure and surrounding soil. Two applications of the finite element method to the dynamic response of a small structure embedded in sand are described. One application involves a three dimensional analysis in which the soil is represented by continuum elements and the structure by plate elements. The second application involves an axisymmetric approximation of the structure in which the effects of nonlinearity of the soil and slip between soil and structure are accounted for.
