Underground polymeric l-shaped pipeline vibrations under seismic effect

Abstract

The simultaneous equations of longitudinal and transverse vibrations of an underground polymeric L-shaped pipeline under the arbitrary direction of seismic load were derived in the paper. A computational scheme of the problem was constructed using central finite-difference relations. The analysis of the results obtained on the simultaneous longitudinal and transverse vibrations of underground polymeric L-shaped pipelines under seismic loading was conducted. The stress-strain state of the L-shaped polymeric pipeline subjected to seismic effect was determined, and the axial forces and bending moments arising in curved pipelines during an earthquake were determined.
