In this paper, a closed-form frequency equation of the pipe-in-pipe (PIP) structure with arbitrary boundaries is obtained. The frequency equation is derived from Green’s function of the transverse forced vibration of the PIP structure and takes into account the effects of internal two-phase flow and axial pressure. The reliability of the method in this paper is proved by comparison with the published literature. In the numerical discussion part, the PIP structures with clamped-clamped, clamped-free, and elastic boundary conditions are used as examples to discuss. The effects of equivalent stiffness coefficient, internal flow velocity, and gas volume fraction on the stability of PIP structure are studied. The results show that the stability of the PIP structure is better than that of the single-pipe structure, and the greater the equivalent stiffness coefficient of the elastic layer, the higher the critical flow velocity of the structure. In addition, a modal conversion phenomenon existing in the PIP structure is discovered. There are different forms of modal conversion for different boundary conditions, and the modal conversion makes the order of instability of the PIP structure different from that of a single-pipe. The conclusion of this paper has positive significance for the dynamic research of PIP structure.

In this paper, a unified method is developed to analyze free vibrations of the three-layer functionally graded cylindrical shell with non-uniform thickness. The middle layer is composed of two-dimensional functionally gradient materials (2D-FGMs), whose thickness is set as a function of smooth continuity. Four sets of artificial springs are assigned at the ends of the shells to satisfy the arbitrary boundary conditions. The Sanders’ shell theory is used to obtain the strain and curvature-displacement relations. Furthermore, the Chebyshev polynomials are selected as the admissible function to improve computational efficiency, and the equation of motion is derived by the Rayleigh–Ritz method. The effects of spring stiffness, volume fraction indexes, configuration on of shell, and the change in thickness of the middle layer on the modal characteristics of the new structural shell are also analyzed.

A cantilevered pipe conveying fluid can lose stability via flutter when the flow velocity becomes sufficiently high. In this paper, a dry friction restraint is introduced for the first time, to evaluate the possibility of improving the stability of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid. First, a dynamical model of the cantilevered pipe system with dry friction is established based on the generalized Hamilton’s principle. Then the Galerkin method is utilized to discretize the model of the pipe and to obtain the nonlinear dynamic responses of the pipe. Finally, by changing the values of the friction force and the installation position of the dry friction restraint, the effect of dry friction parameters on the flutter instability of the pipe is evaluated. The results show that the critical flow velocity of the pipe increases with the increment of the friction force. Installing a dry friction restraint near the middle of the pipe can significantly improve the stability of the pipe system. The vibration of the pipe can also be suppressed to some extent by setting reasonable dry friction parameters.

Dynamic and stability analysis of non-uniform Timoshenko beam under axial loads is carried out. In the first case of study, the axial force is assumed to be perpendicular to the shear force, while for the second case the axial force is tangent to the axis of the beam column. For each case, a pair of differential equations coupled in terms of the flexural displacement and the angle of rotation due to bending was obtained. The parameters of the frequency equation were determined for various boundary conditions. Several illustrative examples of uniform and non-uniform beams with different boundary conditions such as clamped supported, elastically supported, and free end mass have been presented. The stability analysis, for the variation of the natural frequencies of the uniform and non-uniform beams with the axial force, has also been investigated.

This paper for the first time investigates the nonlinear planar dynamics of a cantilevered extensible pipe conveying fluid; the centreline of the pipe is considered to be extensible resulting in coupled longitudinal and transverse equations of motion; specifically, the kinetic and potential energies are obtained in terms of longitudinal and transverse displacements and then the extended version of the Lagrange equations for systems containing non-material volumes is employed to derive the equations of motion. Direct time integration along with the pseudo-arclength continuation method are employed to solve the discretized equations of motion. Bifurcation diagrams of the system are constructed as the flow velocity is increased as the bifurcation parameter. As opposed to the case of an inextensible pipe, an extensible pipe elongates in the axial direction as the flow velocity is increased from zero. At the critical flow velocity, the stability of the system is lost via a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, emerging from the trivial solution for the transverse displacement and non-trivial solution for the longitudinal displacement and leading to a flutter.

The frequency equation of single damaged beam has been established for arbitrary boundary conditions that is the main tool for analysis as well as identification of damaged beam by using measured natural frequencies. A procedure for damage detection problem presented in this paper consists of three steps. First, the modelling error is reduced by a model updating procedure, in which the material, geometrical parameters and boundary conditions are updated. Then, measurement data are corrected based on the updated model. Finally, the damage parameters are identified using updated model and corrected measurement data. Theoretical investigation is illustrated by an example.

In this study, the stability of a structure and mitigation of the vibration of a structure subjected to annular flow are investigated when the parameters of the structure and fluid have variability or uncertainty. The equations of motion of the structure and fluid are given by the Euler-Bernoulli-type partial differential equation and the Navier–Stokes equation, respectively. Hence, the fluid–structure coupled system has variability. The fluid–structure coupled equation considering variability is derived from the above-mentioned equations. By drawing the root locus of the coupled equation, the stability of the coupled system with variability is investigated. Because the parameters of structure and fluid have variability, the critical flow velocity also varies. The effect of parameter variability on the critical flow velocity variability is investigated. Furthermore, to reduce the coupled vibration of the system with variability, a control input is used. Through adequate control, the coupled system with variability is stabilized.

The dynamic analysis of fluid-conveying functionally graded pipes under two cases of temperature distributions is investigated in this study. Two cases of temperature distribution of functionally graded pipes are considered: warmer outside than inside in Case 1 and warmer inside than outside in Case 2. The purpose is to determine the effect of two cases of temperature distributions on the natural frequencies and the critical flow velocity by applying a conventional finite element of functionally graded pipes neglecting shear deformation. The numerical results show that the difference in the natural frequencies or the critical flow velocity between two cases of temperature distributions is not monotonic, and not always greater than 0, which is conditional on the volume fraction index and temperature gradient. The article indicates that the physical parameters of temperature-dependent functionally graded pipes should be selected to adapt for Case 1 and Case 2, respectively.

This paper aims to present accurate solutions for flexural vibration of functionally graded sandwich plates resting on two-parameter elastic foundation with any combined boundary conditions. The governing equations of free vibration problem are derived from the first-order shear deformation theory that covers the important effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. To solve the coupled differential equations governing vibration behavior of the plates with various boundary conditions, an effective tool, namely Chebyshev collocation method, is implemented to obtain the accurate solutions with several parametric studies. The influences of material volume fraction index, layer thickness ratio, side-to-height ratio, boundary conditions, etc., on natural frequencies of the plates are taken into investigation and discussed in details. Our numerical experiments reveal that the proposed method can offer the accurate frequency results of the plates as compared to those available in the literature. Additionally, the spring constants of elastic foundation have a significant impact on frequency changes of the plates. Increasing the values of spring constants leads to considerable increases of the frequencies.

Human aortas are subjected to large mechanical stresses due to blood flow pressurization and through contact with the surrounding tissue. It is essential that the aorta does not lose stability by buckling for its proper functioning to ensure proper blood flow. A refined reduced-order bifurcation analysis model is employed to examine the stability of an aortic segment subjected to internal blood flow. The structural model is based on a nonlinear cylindrical orthotropic laminated composite shell theory that assumes three aortic wall layers representing the tunica intima, media and adventitia. The fluid model contains the unsteady effects obtained from linear potential flow theory and the steady viscous effects obtained from the time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Residual stresses due to pressurization are evaluated and included in the model. The aortic segment loses stability by divergence with deformation of the cross-section at a critical flow velocity for a given static pressure, exhibiting a strong subcritical behaviour with partial or total collapse of the inner wall. Subsequent analyses including the effect of geometric wall imperfections indicate that imperfections in the axial direction have a more profound effect on the stability of the aorta decreasing the critical flow velocity for buckling.
