Numerical modeling of vibration fatigue of viscoelastic pipelines conveying pulsating fluid flow

Abstract

The effect of investigation results on viscoelastic properties of the material and bases on vibration fatigue of a pipeline conveying pulsating fluid flow is given in the paper. A mathematical model of viscoelastic pipeline vibrations based on the theory of beams was developed when a pulsating fluid flows through it. A computational algorithm has been developed to solve vibration problems of composite pipelines conveying pulsating fluid. Stability and amplitude-time characteristics of vibrations of composite pipelines conveying pulsating fluid were studied at wide range of parameters variation of deformable systems and fluid flow.
