“…Free motion of the pipe is assumed, so that f (x, t)"0 in equation (3). Following Lottati & Kornecki (1986), the dynamics of the cantilevered (clamped}free) pipe is analysed by calculating its eigenfrequencies H , j"1, 2 , N, via a standard Galerkin method (Gregory & PamK doussis 1966), y(x, t)" , H H (x)e\ SHR, H (x) being the jth eigenmode of the pipe without #ow and elastic foundation (u"0, s"0). These frequencies will be referred to as global.…”
