Abstract
Transient vibrations of the system {structure–seabed–water layer} are investigated. The schematic representation of the structure consists of a rigid circular foundation slab and a superstructure in the form of a vertical viscoelastic cylinder with lumped masses. The interaction of the foundation with a viscoelastic half-space (the seabed) is taken into account by using the method of orthogonal polynomials to solve the dynamical contact boundary-value problem. A procedure is developed for including in the analysis the interaction of a cylindrical foundation-supported structure with the water layer (to simulate the dynamics of an oil-drilling platform). The assumed load is seismic action specified by an analog accelerogram of the local area. A computational system is developed for numerical simulation of the vibrations and for determining the forces, displacements, accelerations, and contact stresses.
