Dynamic Characteristics of Machine-Pile-Soil Vibration System with Interface Friction Coupling

Abstract

The efficiency of vibrating machines will be greatly improved with the proper working parameters. A new type of hydraulic vibration pile driver extractor is presented in this paper. The machine-pile-soil dynamic model of the hydraulic vibration pile driver extractor based on frictional forces and vibration coupling is established with frictional forces of the pile-soil contact surface and the resistance force of the pile-end. Furthermore, the nonlinear dynamical characteristics of the dynamic model are studied and the influences of different system working parameters on frictional forces of pile-soil interface, working efficiency and capability are discussed by numerical simulation. The different working parameters are exciting force, frequency and stiffness. The results show that the suitable parameters of the vibrating machine can change the soil characteristics and decrease the frictional forces of the pile-soil interface. The work can provide useful guidance for the research on the vibration friction, selection in the suitable parameters of interface surface in engineering and design in the development of such machines.
