Calculation of Element Stiffness Matrix for Finite Element Analysis of Pile Dynamic Stability

Sarma Arnab, Sudipta Chakraborty, A.R. Kambekar

Abstract


For the purpose of analyzing the dynamic stability of pile structures under periodic loads, we have employed the Finite Element Method in this study. The soil modulus was assumed to vary linearly. We have formulated the Mathieu-Hill eigenvalue equation to analyze the stability and instability regions for different static and dynamic load factors. Our research provides valuable insights into the behavior of pile structures when subjected to dynamic loading. The findings can be utilized to design more stable and dependable structures, ultimately contributing to the development of a safer and more resilient built environment.
