Abstract
Dynamic response of a long, continuous pipeline buried at a depth, h, below the free surface of the ground is analyzed. It is assumed that the pipe is disturbed by plane seismic waves traveling at an arbitrary angle to its axis. Thus, the problem is three dimensional. The pipe has been modeled as a cylindrical shell. Both the pipe and the surrounding ground are assumed elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous. The solutions of equations of elastodynamics governing the motions of both are obtained in terms of cylindrical eigenfunctions modified to satisfy the boundary conditions on the free surface of the ground. Numerical results are presented in the accompanying paper.
