Finite element analysis of dynamically loaded foundations

In this study, dynamic responses of block and framed machine foundations under dynamically harmonic load were investigated by considering with soil-structure interaction. The dynamic responses of machine foundations were obtained and discussed considered with different type of soils, vibration isolation, the machine position on the foundation. The effects of each vibration isolation material on the dynamic responses due to dynamic loads by the machine were investigated and compared considering with different soil types. In order to obtain more realistic machine-foundation dynamic analysis, 3 dimensional finite element model was used and dynamical analysis was obtained by using ANSYS Workbench program. In the results, accelerations of the soil are investigated according to different types of isolation material and soil types for block and framed machine foundations.
