This paper presents the analysis of a system of articulated pipes hanging vertically under the influence of gravity. The liquid, driven by a slightly fluctuating pressure, circulates through the pipes. Similar systems have been analysed in the past by numerous authors but a common feature of their work is that the behavior of the fluid flow is prescribed, rather than left to be determined by the laws of motion. This leads to a linear formulation of the problem which can not predict the behavior of the system for finite amplitudes of motion. A circumstance in which this behavior is important arises in the stability analysis of the system in the neighbourhood of critical velocities, that is, flow velocities at which the system starts to flutter. Hence, the purpose of the present study was to investigate in greater detail the region close to critical velocities in order to find by how much these critical velocities would be affected by the amplitudes of motion. This led to a set of three coupled-nonlinear equations, one of which represents the motion of the fluid. In the mathematical development, use is made of a scheme which permits the uncoupling of the modes of motion of damped nonconservative dynamic systems. Results are presented showing the importance of the nonlinearities considered.

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.

This paper employs artificial intelligence in predicting the stability of pipes conveying fluid. Field data was collected for different pipe structures and usage. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model is implemented to predict the stability of the pipe using the fundamental natural frequency at different flow velocities as the index of stability. Results reveal that the neuro-fuzzy model compares relatively well with the conventional finite element method. It was also established that a pipe conveying fluid is most stable when the pipe is clamped at both ends but least stable when it is a cantilever.

Abstract The present work addresses pipes conveying fluid and axially moving beams undergoing large deformations. A novel two dimensional beam finite element is presented, based on the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation (ANCF) with an extra Eulerian coordinate to describe axial motion. The resulting formulation is well known as Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method, which is often used to model axially moving beams and pipes conveying fluid. The proposed approach, which is derived from an extended version of Lagrange's equations of motion, allows for the investigation of the stability of pipes conveying fluid and axially moving beams for a certain axial velocity and stationary state of large deformation. Additionally, a multibody modeling approach allows us to extend the beam formulation for co-moving discrete masses, which represent concentrated masses attached to the beam, e.g., gondolas in ropeway systems, or transported masses in conveyor belts. Within numerical investigations, we show that axially moving beams and a larger number of discrete masses behave similarly as the case of (continuously) distributed mass.
