Dynamical behaviors of nonlinear viscoelastic piles with damage Dongfa SHENG a Department of Electromechanical and Automatic Engineering, Fujian University of Technology, Fuzhou 350108, P.
Introduction Piles, as one of important engineering structures, are widely used in civil and environmental engineering.
The correlative studies, such as, the theory analysis, the numerical simulation, the experiment and test technique, have absorbed many researchers’ attention in engineering.
But the analysis belongs to one kind of complicated nonlinear dynamics and there are few paper for the dynamical behaviors of piles, so the study on the anti-seismic performance of piles is one of the important research branches in the earthquake and civil engineering[1,2].
