Abstract
Fluid-filled pipelines are widely used in engineering and industry. An analysis of the frequency dynamic responses of three-dimensional pipes is presented in this paper. A general formulation is developed based on an impedance matrix transmission approach in which a T-shaped pipe system can be assembled from three straight pipes. For validation purposes, numerical results are compared with data given by finite element method (FEM) software, previous literature, and an experiment. In the experiment, the three-dimensional pipe system is suspended horizontally on spring wires and is excited in the X and Y directions. It is found that the results calculated using the proposed method match the experimental results well. A dimensionless analysis of Poisson’s coupling is then carried out, and the junction coupling of the branch pipe is analyzed as a function of its angle. Through this work, it is shown that the proposed method is efficient and can be used to predict the vibration of three-dimensional pipes.
