A new differential transformation method is developed in this paper and is applied for free vibration problem of pipes conveying fluid. The natural frequencies, critical flow velocities, and vibration mode functions of such pipes with several typical boundary conditions are obtained and compared with the results predicted by Galerkin method and finite element method (FEM) and with other results archived. The results show that the present method is of high precision and can serve as an analytical method for the vibration of pipes conveying fluid.

Both functionally graded materials (FGMs) and fluid-conveying pipes have wide applications in engineering communities. In this paper, the transverse vibration and stability of multi-span viscoelastic FGM pipes conveying fluid are investigated. Volume fraction laws including power law, sigmoid law and exponential law are introduced to describe the variations of material properties in FGM pipes. A hybrid method which combines reverberation-ray matrix method and wave propagation method is developed to calculate the natural frequencies, and the results determined by present method are compared with the existing results in literature. Then, a comparative study is performed to investigate the effects of fluid velocity, volume fraction laws and internal damping on transverse vibration and stability of the FGM pipes conveying fluid. The results demonstrate that the present method has high precision in dynamic analysis of multi-span pipes conveying fluid. It is also found that natural frequencies of FGM pipes can be adjusted by devising the volume fractions laws. This particular feature can be tailored to fulfill the special applications in engineering.

A modified Galerkin approach is employed to calculate the dynamic characteristics of a complex non-uniform fluid-conveying pipe assembled by a uniform and a conical segment. The effects of two geometric parameters (length ratio of the uniform part and conical truncation factor) on the dynamic stability are studied. Results prove that for the assembled fluid-conveying pipe 1) when fluid enters the pipe from the thinner end, the natural frequencies are higher than those when it enters from the wider end; 2) the critical flow velocity increases linearly with the increase of the uniform part ratio, while it decreases squarely with the increase of the conical truncation factor in a limited range and 3) the clamp-pined non-uniform pipe has a higher dimensionless critical velocity than the pin-clamped pipe when fluid enters from the wider end.

This paper presents an accurate finite element procedure for the vibration and stability analysis of helical pipe conveying fluid. The kinematics of the helical pipe are derived including the effects of arbitrary curvatures and torsions in a nonorthogonal helical coordinate system. The equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton’s principle for mass transport system and the shear deformation and rotary inertia are also considered. The 3-node space-curved isoparametric element is used. The natural frequencies, mode shapes and critical flow velocities of buckling are studied for different end conditions. The significant influence of torsion effects on the calculation of natural frequencies and critical flow velocities is found. To demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the techniques developed, several numerical examples are illustrated.

The rotating pipe conveying fluid is considered. Non-linear (geometrical non-linearity) equation of the motion of the pipe is derived using the finite element method. The equation of motion is derived based of the following assumptions: fluid is incompressible and inviscid; rotory inertia and shear deformation of the pipe are neglected. The sources of parametric vibration are: fluid velocity and pressure, angular speed of pipe. The possibility to solve a nonlinear response problem including sub-and/or super-harmonic using the finite element method is shown. Numerical results are derived considering the rotating cantilevered pipe conveying fluid. All matrices and vectors of the finite element method are derived by the symbolic computation system Maple.

Vibration of structures due to external sound is one of the main causes of interior noise in cavities like automobile, aircraft, and rotorcraft, which disturb the comfort of passengers. Accurate modelling of such phenomena is required in eigenfrequency analysis and in designing an active noise control system to reduce the interior noise. In this paper, the effect of periodic noise travelling into a rectangular enclosure is investigated with finite element method (FEM) using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The periodic acoustic wave is generated by a point source outside the enclosure and propagated through the enclosure wall and excites an aluminium flexible panel clamped onto the enclosure. The behaviour of the transmission of sound into the cavity is investigated by computing the modal characteristics and the natural frequencies of the cavity. The simulation results are compared with previous analytical and experimental works for validation and an acceptable match between them were obtained.
