Stability analysis of viscoelastic curved pipes conveying fluid

Based on the Hamilton' s principle for elastic systems of changing mass, a differential equation of motion for viscoelastic curved pipes conveying fluid was derived using variational method, and the complex characteristic equation for the viscoelastic circular pipe conveying fluid was obtained by normalized power series method. The effects of dimensionless delay time on the variation relationship between dimensionless complex frequency of the clamped-clamped viscoelastic circular pipe conveying fluid with the Kelvin-Voigt model and dimensionless flow velocity were analyzed. For greater dimensionless delay time, the behavior of the viscoelastic pipe is that the first, second and third mode does not couple, while the pipe behaves divergent instability in the first and second order mode, then single-mode flutter takes place in the first order mode.

Dynamics of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid. Part 1: Nonlinear equations of three-dimensional motion

In a three-part study, the first part being this paper, the investigation of the three-dimensional nonlinear dynamics of unrestrained and restrained cantilevered pipes conveying fluid is undertaken. The full derivation of the equations of motion in three dimensions for the plain cantilevered pipe is presented first in this paper, using a modified version of Hamilton's principle, adapted for an open system. Intermediate (between the clamped and free end) nonlinear spring constraints are then incorporated into the equations of motion via the method of virtual work. Furthermore, a point mass fixed at the free end of the pipe is also added to the system. The equations of motion are presented in dimensionless form and then discretized with Galerkin's method.

Nonlinear dynamics of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid: Towards a further understanding of the effect of loose constraints

The nonlinear dynamics of a fluid-conveying cantilevered pipe with loose constraints placed somewhere along its length is investigated. The main objective of this study is to determine the effects of several geometrical and physical parameters of the loose constraints on the characteristics and behavior of pipes conveying fluid. Based on the full nonlinear equation of motion, the dynamical behavior of the pipe system is investigated. Phase portraits and bifurcation diagrams are constructed for a selected set of system parameters. Typical results are firstly compared to numerical ones reported previously and excellent agreement is obtained. Then, the threshold flow velocities for several key bifurcations including pitchfork, period doubling, chaos, and sticking behaviors are predicted, showing that in many cases, the gap size, stiffness, and asymmetry of the loose constraints have remarkable effects on the nonlinear responses of the cantilevered pipe conveying fluid. For a pipe system with small/large constraint gap sizes, small constraint stiffness, or large constraint offset, some of the complex dynamical behaviors including chaos and period-doubling bifurcations would disappear, at least in the flow velocity range of interest.     

THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIORS OF VISCOELASTIC PIPE CONVEYING FLUID WITH THE KELVIN MODEL

Based on the differential constitutive relationship of linear viscoelastic, material, a solid-liquid coupling vibration equation for viscoelastic pipe conveying fluid is derived by the D'Alembert's principle. The critical flow velocities and natural frequencies of the cantilever pipe conveying fluid with the Kelvin model (flutter instability) are calculated with the modified finite difference method in the form of the recurrence formula. The curves between the complex frequencies of the first, second and third mode and flow velocity of the pipe are plotted. On the basis of the numerical, calculation results, the dynamic behaviors and stability of the pipe are discussed. It should be pointed out that the delay time of viscoelastic material with the Kelvin model has a remarkable effect on the dynamic characteristics and stability behaviors of the cantilevered pipe conveying fluid, which is a gyroscopic non-conservative system.     

Non-planar responses of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid with intermediate motion constraints

In this paper, the nonlinear responses of a loosely constrained cantilevered pipe conveying fluid in the context of three-dimensional (3-D) dynamics are investigated. The pipe is allowed to oscillate in two perpendicular principal planes, and hence its 3-D motions are possible. Two types of motion constraints are considered. One type of constraints is the tube support plate (TSP) which comprises a plate with drilled holes for the pipe to pass through. A second type of constraints consists of two parallel bars (TPBs). The restraining force between the pipe and motion constraints is modeled by a smoothened-trilinear spring. In the theoretical analysis, the 3-D version of nonlinear equations is discretized via Galerkin’s method, and the resulting set of equations is solved using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration algorithm. The dynamical behaviors of the pipe system for varying flow velocities are presented in the form of bifurcation diagrams, time traces, power spectra diagrams and phase plots. Results show that both types of motion constraints have a significant influence on the dynamic responses of the cantilevered pipe. Compared to previous work dealing with the loosely constrained pipe with motions restricted to a plane, both planar and non-planar oscillations are explored in this 3-D version of pipe system. With increasing flow velocity, it is shown that both periodic and quasi-periodic motions can occur in the system of a cantilever with TPBs constraints. For a cantilevered pipe with TSP constraints, periodic, chaotic, quasi-periodic and sticking behaviors are detected. Of particular interest of this work is that quasi-periodic motions may be induced in the pipe system with either TPBs or TSP constraints, which have not been observed in the 2-D version of the same system. The results obtained in this work highlight the importance of consideration of the non-planar oscillations in cantilevered pipes subjected to loose constraints.

HOPF BIFURCATION OF A NONLINEAR RESTRAINED CURVED PIPE CONVEYING FLUID BY DIFFERENTIAL QUADRATURE METHOD

This paper proposes a new method for investigating the Hopf bifurcation of a curved pipe conveying fluid with nonlinear spring support. The nonlinear equation of motion is derived by forces equilibrium on microelement of the system under consideration. The spatial coordinate of the system is discretized by the differential quadrature method and then the dynamic equation is solved by the Newton-Raphson method. The numerical solutions show that the inner fluid velocity of the Hopf bifurcation point of the curved pipe varies with different values of the parameter,nonlinear spring stiffness. Based on this, the cycle and divergent motions are both found to exist at specific fluid flow velocities with a given value of the nonlinear spring stiffness. The results are useful for further study of the nonlinear dynamic mechanism of the curved fluid conveying pipe.

Nonlinear dynamics of extensible viscoelastic cantilevered pipes conveying pulsatile flow with an end nozzle

Nonlinear dynamics of an extensible cantilevered pipe conveying pulsating flow is considered in this paper. The fluid flow fluctuates harmonically and exhausts via a nozzle attached to the end of the pipe. Taking into account the extensibility assumption, the coupled nonlinear lateral–longitudinal equations of motion are derived using Hamilton's principle and discretized via Galerkin's method. The adaptive time step Adams algorithm is applied to extract the time response, and then the bifurcation, power spectral density and phase plane maps are plotted for some case studies. Effects of some geometrical parameters such as flow mass, pulsating flow frequency, gravity, nozzle mass and nozzle aspect ratio parameters are studied on the dynamics of such system and the validity of extensibility assumption is investigated and some conclusions are drawn.     

Nonlinear dynamics of imperfectly-supported pipes conveying fluid

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of a pipe imperfectly supported at the upstream end and free at the other and conveying fluid is investigated. The imperfect support is modelled via cubic translational and rotational springs. The equation of motion is obtained via Hamilton’s principle for an open system, and the Galerkin method is used for discretizing the resulting partial differential equation. The dynamics of a system with either strong rotational or strong translational stiffness is examined in details. Numerical results show that similarly to a cantilevered pipe, the system undergoes a supercritical Hopf bifurcation leading to period-1 limit cycle oscillations. The Hopf bifurcation may, however, occur at a much lower flow velocity compared to the perfect system. At higher flow velocities, quasi-periodic and chaotic-like motions may be observed. The amplitude of transverse displacement is generally much higher than that for a cantilevered pipe, mainly due to large-amplitude rigid-body motion. In addition, effects of the mass ratio, internal dissipation, hardening- or softening-type nonlinearity, as well as concentrated- or distributed-type nonlinearity on the dynamics of the system are examined.

Nonlinear vibration of slightly curved pipe with conveying pulsating fluid

The nonlinear governing motion equation of slightly curved pipe with conveying pulsating fluid is set up by Hamilton’s principle. The motion equation is discretized into a set of low dimensional system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin method. Linear analysis of system is performed upon this set of equations. The effect of amplitude of initial deflection and flow velocity on linear dynamic of system is analyzed. Curves of the resonance responses about \(\varOmega \approx {\omega _\mathrm{{1}}}\) and \(\varOmega \approx \mathrm{{2}}{\omega _\mathrm{{1}}}\) are performed by means of the pseudo-arclength continuation technique. The global nonlinear dynamic of system is analyzed by establishing the bifurcation diagrams. The dynamical behaviors are identified by the phase diagram and Poincare maps. The periodic motion, chaotic motion and quasi-periodic motion are found in this system.     

FLOW-INDUCED INTERNAL RESONANCES AND MODE EXCHANGE IN HORIZONTAL CANTILEVERED PIPE CONVEYING FLUID (Ⅱ)

Based on the nonlinear mathematical model of motion of a horizontally cantilevered rigid pipe conveying fluid, the 3:1 internal resonance induced by the minimum critical velocity is studied in details. With the detuning parameters of internal and primary resonances and the amplitude of the external disturbing excitation varying, the flow in the neighborhood of the critical flow velocity yields that some nonlinearly dynamical behaviors occur in the system such as mode exchange, saddle-node, Hopf and co-dimension 2 bifurcations. Correspondingly, the periodic motion losses its stability by jumping or flutter, and more complicated motions occur in the pipe under consideration.The good agreement between the analytical analysis and the numerical simulation for several parameters ensures the validity and accuracy of the present analysis.

Nonlinear dynamics of functionally graded pipes conveying hot fluid

For improved stability of fluid-conveying pipes operating under the thermal environment, functionally graded materials (FGMs) are recommended in a few recent studies. Besides this advantage, the nonlinear dynamics of fluid-conveying FG pipes is an important concern for their engineering applications. The present study is carried out in this direction, where the nonlinear dynamics of a vertical FG pipe conveying hot fluid is studied thoroughly. The FG pipe is considered with pinned ends while the internal hot fluid flows with the steady or pulsatile flow velocity. Based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and the plug-flow model, the nonlinear governing equation of motion of the fluid-conveying FG pipe is derived in the form of the nonlinear integro-partial-differential equation that is subsequently reduced as the nonlinear temporal differential equation using Galerkin method. The solutions in the time or frequency domain are obtained by implementing the adaptive Runge–Kutta method or harmonic balance method. First, the divergence characteristics of the FG pipe are investigated and it is found that buckling of the FG pipe arises mainly because of temperature of the internal fluid. Next, the dynamic characteristics of the FG pipe corresponding to its pre- and post-buckled equilibrium states are studied. In the pre-buckled equilibrium state, higher-order parametric resonances are observed in addition to the principal primary and secondary parametric resonances, and thus the usual shape of the parametric instability region deviates. However, in the post-buckled equilibrium state of the FG pipe, its chaotic oscillations may arise through the intermittent transition route, cyclic-fold bifurcation, period-doubling bifurcation and subcritical bifurcation. The overall study reveals complex dynamics of the FG pipe with respect to some system parameters like temperature of fluid, material properties of FGM and fluid flow velocity.     

Nonlinear Forced Vibration of Cantilevered Pipes Conveying Fluid

The nonlinear forced vibrations of a cantilevered pipe conveying fluid under base excitations are explored by means of the full nonlinear equation of motion, and the fourthorder Runge-Kutta integration algorithm is used as a numerical tool to solve the discretized equations. The self-excited vibration is briefly discussed first, focusing on the effect of flow velocity on the stability and post-flutter dynamical behavior of the pipe system with parameters close to those in previous experiments. Then, the nonlinear forced vibrations are examined using several concrete examples by means of frequency response diagrams and phase-plane plots. It shows that, at low flow velocity, the resonant amplitude near the first-mode natural frequency is larger than its counterpart near the second-mode natural frequency. The second-mode frequency response curve clearly displays a softening-type behavior with hysteresis phenomenon, while the first-mode frequency response curve almost maintains its neutrality. At moderate flow velocity,interestingly, the first-mode resonance response diminishes and the hysteresis phenomenon of the second-mode response disappears. At high flow velocity beyond the flutter threshold, the frequency response curve would exhibit a quenching-like behavior. When the excitation frequency is increased through the quenching point, the response of the pipe may shift from quasiperiodic to periodic. The results obtained in the present, work highlight the dramatic influence of internal fluid flow on the nonlinear forced vibrations of slender pipes.
