This study derived a single pile motion equation in the form of the Pasternak model based on Hamilton's principle. Using Lame's solution from the theory of pressure tunnels, the additional vibrational load on a single pile adjacent to a harmonically vibrating tunnel was derived and incorporated into the pile's motion equation as an excitation. The general solution was obtained using the separation of variables method. The motion equation was validated using FDM. Parameter analysis was conducted to examine the effects of pile-tunnel distance and source dynamics on the pile response mechanism. The results indicated that the motion equation accurately predicted pile deformation pattern and peak horizontal displacement, meeting design requirements. The parameter analysis indicated that the peak horizontal displacement and pile-tunnel distance relationship could be modeled using a Gaussian function, while the peak horizontal displacement exhibited a strong linear correlation with the source amplitude.

The resultant bifurcation diagram method is adopted to elucidate the nonlinear stability properties of the in-train locomotive system. The simulation results indicate that the in-train locomotive system exhibits multiple solution forms and their combinations, which are significantly influenced by the forward speed. Two periodic motions exhibit a strong correlation with the vibrations of the carbody and the bogie respectively. The longitudinal in-train force remarkably influences the nonlinear stability of the in-train locomotive system.

However, SPD may suffer from zero-energy mode problems, leading to numerical instabilities, e.g., response oscillations in displacement or stress, due to its nodal integration scheme. The issues are particularly pronounced under highly non-uniform external loading conditions, such as single point loads. This paper presents a novel stability augmentation technique (SAT) for SPD under varied loading conditions. The SAT identifies points causing zero-energy mode problems and applies corrective forces at these points by replacing nodal integration with multi-point integration: it involves adding auxiliary points at the midpoints between each peridynamic (PD) point and its neighbors within the horizon, calculating the strain at each auxiliary point with a newly defined sub-horizon similar to SPD methods, computing the stresses at these points and integrating them to determine the internal force at the PD point. This innovative approach not only eliminates zero-energy modes but also preserves computational efficiency by selectively applying corrections at critical points. Moreover, it simplifies the integration process with predetermined coefficients and ensures versatility under diverse static and dynamic loading conditions. The calculations are streamlined by using existing PD horizons to define sub-horizons. Implemented in the open-source software OpenSees, the SAT is evaluated across three applications and confirmed its effectiveness in addressing stability issues in SPD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"143 ","pages":"Article 116054"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143563828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
