This paper deals with the non-axisymmetric dynamic response of an imperfectly bonded buried orthotropic pipeline subjected to longitudinal wave (P-wave) excitation. An infinite cylindrical shell model, including the rotary inertia and shear deformation effects, has been used for the pipeline. For some cases comparison of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric responses have also been furnished.

The dynamic response of buried pipelines has gained considerable importance because these pipelines perform vital role in conducting energy, water, communication and transportation. After realizing the magnitude of damage, and hence, the human uncomfort and the economical losses, researchers have paid sincere attention to this problem. A number of papers have appeared in the past which discuss the different aspects of the problem. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of non-axisymmetric dynamic response of buried orthotropic cylindrical shell subjected to a moving load along the axis of the shell. The orthotropic shell has been buried in a homogeneous, isotropic and elastic medium of infinite extent. A thick shell theory including the effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation has been used. A perfect bond between the shell and the surrounding medium has been assumed. Results have been obtained for very hard (rocky), medium hard and soft soil surrounding the shell. The effects of shell orthotropy have been brought out by varying the non-dimensional orthotropic parameters over a long range. Under these conditions the shell response is studied in axisymmetric mode as well as in the flexural mode. It is observed that the shell response is significantly affected by change in orthotropic parameters and also due to change of response mode. It is observed that axial deformation is large in axisymmetric mode as compared to that in flexural mode.

It is very important to analyze the dynamic responses of the shell structures from the viewpoint of the design of shell structures with a variety of axisymmetric loadings. In this paper, the computational algorithm for the dynamic response analysis of an cylindrical shell with axisymmetric loading is formulated by the transfer mass coefficient method based on the transfer of mass coefficient. After the computational programs for obtaining the dynamic responses of cylindrical shells with axisymmetric loading are made by the transfer mass coefficient method and the finite element method, the computational results by both methods are compared. From the computational results, we can confirm that the transfer mass coefficient method has the effectiveness in the dynamic response analyses of cylindrical shells with a variety of axisymmetric loadings.

In this study a computer program considering initial imperfection of wall of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell which show plastic deformation by large external loading is developed. initial imperfection of wall of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell is assumed as sinusoidal curve expressed as {{{{ {W }_{i } }}}}={{{{ {W}_{0 } }}}}sin (n$\pi$y/$\ell$)y. The developed program is applied to the analysis of the dynamic response of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell when the wall has initial imperfection. The initial imperfection of 0.0 -5.0, and 5cm and steel ratio 0.3, and 5% are tested for numerical examples. The effects of the wall initial imperfection and steel ratio on the dynamic response of the axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell are analysed, It is shown that the direction of the initial imperfection is very important factors for determining the dynamic response.

Due to the structural complexity, the response of a flexible riser under axisymmetric loads is quite difficult to determine. Based on equilibrium conditions, geometrical relations and constitutive equations, an analytical model that can accurately predict the axisymmetric behavior of flexible risers is deduced in this paper. Since the mutual exclusion between the contact pressure and interlayer gap is considered in this model, the influence of the load direction on the structural behavior can be analyzed. Meanwhile, a detailed finite element analysis for unbonded flexible risers is conducted. Based on the analytical and numerical models, the structural response of a typical flexible riser under tension, torsion, internal and outer pressure has been studied in detail. The results are compared with experimental data obtained from the literature, and good agreement is found. Studies have shown that the proposed analytical and numerical models can provide an insightful reference for analysis and design of flexible risers.

In this study, a computer program considering initial imperfection of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell which plastic deformation by large external loading was developed . Initial imperfection of dome was assumed as 'dimple type' which can be expressed as Wi=(Wo/h)(1-x$^2$)$^3$. The developed model applied to the analysis of dynamic response of axisymmetric reinforced concrete shell when it has initial imperfection. The initial imperfection of 0.0, -5.0, and 5cm and steel and steel layer ratio 0,3, and 5% were tested for numerical examples . The results can be summarized as follows ; 1. Dynmaic response of vertical deflection at dome crown showed slow increased if it has not inital imperfection . But the response showed relatively high amplitude when initial imperfection was inner directed (opposite direction to loading). Similar trends also appeared for different steel layer ratios. 2. Dynamic responses of radial displacement at the junction of dome and wall showed the highest amplitude when initial imperfection was inward directed (opposite direction to loading). The lowest amplitude occurred when initial imperfection was outward directed (same direction to loading). Vibration period also delayed for inward directed initial imperfection . These trends were obvious as steel layer ratio increasing. 3. The effects of imperfection for the dynamic response of radial displacement a the center of wall scarely appeared. The effects of initial imperfection of dome on the dynmaic response of the wall can be neglected. 4. Effect of steel on the dynmic response of axisymmetric shell structure was great when initial imperfection did not exist. And the effect of direction of initial imperfection (inward or outward) did not show big difference.

Herein the dynamic response of an axisymmetric buoy to regular wave is studied within linear potential theory. The buoy has a particular geometry so that it should experience minimum wave-exiting force on the vertical direction at a precribed wave number in water of finite depth. Invoking the Green's theorem a velocity potential is generated by distributing pulsating sources and doublets on the immersed surface of the buoy at its mean position. Hydrodynamic forces and moments are obtained approximately by summation of the products of linear pressure and directional mesh area over the immersed surface. Model tests are carried out to measure the wave-exciting forces, hydrodynamic forces and motion responses. The experimental results in general agree fairly well with the numerical ones. From the analytical and experimental works it is found that the pitching motion and its coupling effect affect significantly the motion characteristics of the freely-floating axisymmetric buoy in regular waves.

A graded harmonic finite element formulation based on three-dimensional elasticity theory is developed for the structural analysis of 2D functionally graded axisymmetric structures. The mechanical properties of the axisymmetric solid structures composed of two different metals and ceramics are assumed to vary in radial and axial directions according to power law variations as a function of the volume fractions of the constituents. The material properties of the graded element are calculated at the integration points. Effects of material distribution profile on the static deformation, natural frequency and dynamic response analyses of particular axisymmetric solid structures are investigated by changing the power law exponents. It is observed that the displacements, stresses and natural frequencies are severely affected by the variation of axial and radial power law exponents. Good accuracy is obtained with fewer elements in the present study since Fourier series expansion eliminates the need of finite element mesh in circumferential direction and continuous material property distribution within the elements improves accuracy without refining the mesh size in axial and radial directions.

The dynamic response of vertically axisymmetric floating bodies is numerically calculated with corrections of Fenton's coefficient matrix. The computational effort required is considerably reduced due to axisymmetry of the bodies. Comparisons are made with the results of Hoffman's model tests of the discus buoy. In the near future, this study will be applied to calculate the dynamic response of large scale structures, located in the deep sea, i.e., tension leg platforms.
