L.) gravity platform-soil interaction system. By assuming a suitable form of the velocity potential of the radiation waves and by using the motion equation and the boundary conditions, the unknown coefficients can be obtained. Thereafter the function of frequency for the interaction system may also be obtained. In this paper, the difference of the system dynamic response between rigid foundation is analyzed and the influences of the various foundation geometric dimension and the various water-depth on the hydrodynamic loading and dynamic response of the system is illustrated.展开更多

In the method, the strong ground motion is considered as three dimensional stationary white noise process and the pile-soil interaction and water-structure interaction are considered. The stochastic response of a typical platform to earthquake load has been computed with this method and the results compared with those obtained with the response spectrum analysis method. The comparison shows that the stochastic analysis method of the response of piled platforms to earthquake load is suitable for this kind of analysis.展开更多

Comparing these results with numerical results reveals the accuracy of the method and even more, allows us to validate the nu- merical analysis. Therefore, two important results are obtained： a simplified analytical solution for the buckling problem and validation of the numerical results. Another important and novel finding is related to the influence of the angle ply orientation and of the cutouts, on the buckling load. Under symmetrical boundary conditions and loading case, rectangular panels with elliptical cutouts, give better results for 90~ oriented plies than for 0 oriented ones. With a compression load applied in the X direction, and with material properties 10 times better in X direction than in Y direction, the best results are obtained when the load is aligned with the Y direction associated to the ma- terial reference frame. Moreover, panels with cutouts seem to behave better than panels without cutouts under cer- tainply orientation angles.展开更多
