✦ Synopsis

The subject of this paper is the study of free oscillations of a composite material consisting of an elastic medium and a large number of elastic piles periodically immersed in a part of the medium. The ends of piles lying on the boundary of the medium are clamped to a force-free rigid plate. Such a partially composite structure arises in pile foundation mechanics. Assuming that the period of pile structure tends to zero, we obtain the macroscopic equations for free oscillations by homogenization method and prove the corresponding convergence result.

The stability of end-bearing piles that are supported laterally along their entire length by an elastic Winkler foundation is investigated for the case when the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction varies linearly with depth. A pattern of clustering of buckling modes is shown to occur and the
