- (1)
- The pile’s surrounding soil is a homogeneous, isotropic, and viscoelastic medium. Therefore, the stiffness and damping coefficients of the soil layers are both constants along the vertical direction.
- (2)
- The pile body is a combination of circular and rectangular sections, and only the bending deformation of the pile is considered after simplification.
- (3)
- The pile–soil system is subjected to small deformations and strains during lateral vibration, and the longitudinal displacement of the pile’s surrounding soil is ignored.
- (4)
- No relative sliding occurs at the pile–soil interface.
- (5)
- The influence of pile cap is not considered.
- (6)
- The harmonic excitation acts horizontally on the pile top.

6. Conclusions
- (1)
- The LDD of the pile top increases with the increase in the helix inclination angle, but the BM of the pile top and pile end, as well as the SF of the middle part of the helical pile, increase with the decrease in the helix’s inclination angle. The smaller the helix’s inclination angle, the greater the change degree.
- (2)
- The LDD of the pile top decreases with the increase in the dimensionless frequency, while the SF of the pile end increases with the increase in the dimensionless frequency.
- (3)
- The LDR of the pile body basically increases significantly with the increase in the pile–soil stiffness ratio.
- (4)
- The smaller the dimensionless frequency, the more time it takes for the LDR to reach its maximum values, and the smaller the dimensionless frequency, the greater the change degree. The reason for these phenomena is that the change in dimensionless frequency results in nonlinear change in the damping coefficient and period.
