Dynamic Stability of a Fluid-Coveying Cantilevered Pipe on an Additional Combined Support

Based on an analytical study, a numerical analysis is made of the dynamic stability of a cantilevered steel pipe conveying a fluid. The pipe is modeled by a beam restrained at the left end and supported by a special device (a rotational elastic restraint plus a Q-apparatus) at the right end. The numerical analysis reveals that the critical velocity of the fluid depends on the governing parameters of the problem such as the ratio of the fluid mass to the pipe mass per unit length and the rotational elastic constant at the right end     

Divergent Instability Domains of a Fluid-Conveying Cantilevered Pipe with a Combined Support

The divergent instability of a fluid-conveying pipe is analyzed numerically. The pipe is modeled by a cantilevered beam restrained at the left end and supported by a special device (a rotational elastic restraint plus a Q-apparatus) at the right end. Divergent instability domains of the pipe are obtained by varying the rotational elastic constant of the right restraint
