Underground pipelines dynamics problem solution under longitudinal seismic loading

Abstract

Abstract In this article are considered some problems of oscillations of underground pipelines under seismic loading. The resulting system of equations is solved by the finite-difference of the second order of accuracy. The program is based on a computer algorithm implementation on oriented language Borland Delphi 7. Conducted theoretical and computational-experimental studies solve the problem of assessing the stress-strain state of underground pipelines under seismic effect the axes of the pipeline. The Stress-strain state of the underground pipeline is studied at linear and non-linear interaction with the soil. Linear and non-linear solutions are compared. Dangerous points of maximum normal stress occurrence under seismic loading in the underground pipeline are determined to take into account elastic pipe-soil system interaction. The conducted computational and experimental studies allow solving the problems of assessing the stress-strain state of pipelines under seismic loading, which is important for practical calculations.
