Abstract
The dynamic response of an elastic supporting pile partially embedded in a saturated soil and subjected to a time-harmonic torsional loading is investigated. At first, the pile is divided into two parts along the vertical direction, pile part above the soil and pile part embedded in the soil. Then, based on boundary and continuity conditions of the pile-soil system, the torsional impedance at the top end of the pile part embedded in the soil is obtained. By utilizing the transfer technique of impedance function, the admittance function of the pile top is defined in the frequency domain. By virtue of inverse Fourier transform and convolution theorem, a semi-analytical solution for the velocity response of a pile subjected to a semi-sine wave exciting torque is obtained in the time domain. Finally, selected numerical results are obtained to analyze the influence of main parameters on the torsional vibration characteristics of the pile.
