Analysis and design of structures subjected to arbitrary dynamic loadings especially earthquakes have been studied during past decades. In practice, the effects of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures are usually neglected. In this study, the effect of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures has been examined. The substructure method using dynamic stiffness of soil is used to analyze soil-structure system. A coupled model based on finite element method and scaled boundary finite element method is applied. Finite element method is used to analyze the structure, and scaled boundary finite element method is applied in the analysis of unbounded soil region. Due to analytical solution in the radial direction, the radiation condition is satisfied exactly. The material behavior of soil and structure is assumed to be linear. The soil region is considered as a homogeneous half-space. The analysis is performed in time domain. A computer program is prepared to analyze the soil-structure system. Comparing the results with those in literature shows the exactness and competency of the proposed method.

The interaction between underground pipelines and soils is crucial to the design and maintenance of underground pipeline network systems. In this paper, the dynamic stiffness matrix in the frequency-domain of the buried pipeline is obtained by the improved scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) coupled with the finite element method (FEM) at the interface between the far and near fields. A new coordinate transformation together with a scaled line is introduced in the improved SBFEM. Combined with the mixed variable algorithm, the time-domain solution of the buried pipeline under dynamic loads is then obtained. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm was verified by numerical examples. A parametric study is performed to assess the influence of the anisotropic characteristics of the layered soils on the dynamic response of the pipeline, the result of which provides a reliable basis for engineering practice. The results show that these parameters have a significant impact on the pipeline. The understanding of this impact can contribute to the design, construction, and maintenance of the corresponding engineering projects.

The present paper studied the dynamic response of an underwater system with its navigation plate rotated relative to the main body until it was blocked by an energy absorber. In this process, the relation between fluid-driving moment and speed of main body, as well as the relation between rotation angle of the plate and design parameters of absorber, was investigated through combined finite element method and finite volume method. Before the plate contacted with the energy absorber, it was modeled by linear elastic material, the movement process was solved by finite volume method with dynamic boundary. When the plate started to contact and crash with the absorber, it was modeled by elastic-plastic material, and the interaction of fluid-structure coupling was simulated by explicit finite element method in LSDYNA and finite volume method in FLUENT. The two-way data exchange on the interface between fluid and structure was carried out through equivalent force and moment on each patch of the interface. In addition, the simulation accuracy on large plastic deformation of absorber was verified through a group of drop hammer experiments. After the energy absorber was crushed to ultimate shape, the open angle of plate reached the maximum value and the plate kept relative static to the rigid body. The maximum structural stress and deformation, the opening time and angle of the plate were evaluated by numerical method. It is demonstrated that the proposed method can effectively predict the dynamic response of underwater system under impact loads, and both the absorption capability of the block and the speed of moving body affect the dynamic response history and structural safety.

In this article, the dependency between different elements in solid structures is considered and a substructure-based interval finite element method is used to model the interval properties. The penalty method is applied to impose the necessary constraints for compatibility. In order to obtain the interval stresses, an approximation solution based on the Taylor expansion method is presented. Then, the proposed interval substructure model is expanded to nonlinear problems. In consideration of the nonlinear property of the elasticity modulus, an interval elastoplastic substructure analysis method using constant matrix based on the incremental theory is proposed and the interval expression of the interval stress updated formation is derived. Finally, numerical examples are carried out to demonstrate the reasonability and feasibility of the proposed method and evaluation system.
