Determination of Natural Frequencies in Piping Systems Using Transfer Matrix Method

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper we propose to study the natural frequencies in pipe flows with consideration of fluid-structure interaction. More specifically, it is to assess system characteristics such as vibration response, the transfer function, the maximum pressure, etc., for a wide range of frequencies and show the influence of fluid-structure interaction in piping systems. The transfer matrix method and the Laplace transformation are used to calculate the natural frequencies of systems with various boundary conditions taking into account the fluid-structure interaction. Results of numerical analysis for some simple piping systems are presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method and to show the effect of fluidstructure interaction on the values of natural frequencies.

“…Based on the transfer matrix method, Batura et al [11] proposed an effective method for calculating the static and dynamic stress and residual strength of complex space pipeline considering the internal vibration of fluid and Poisson coupling. Guidara et al [12] used the transfer matrix method and Laplace transform to calculate the natural frequencies of the system under different boundary conditions considering fluid-structure coupling.…”
