Abstract

Abstract Fluid-conveying pipelines are widely employed in various engineering fields, such as aerospace, nuclear, and marine fields. These pipelines work in serious vibration environments, which can quickly damage the pipeline system. The vibration control of pipelines is a prominent challenge in the engineering field. This paper is aimed to investigate the electromechanical analysis characteristics of L-shaped pipelines with the Enhanced Active Constrained Layer Damping (EACLD) structure. A finite element model of the L-shaped pipeline with EACLD is established. The dynamic behaviour of an L-shaped pipeline with an EACLD structure was analysed in both the time and frequency domains. The influence of the voltage and the position, the length and the elastic modulus, the thickness and the edge element parameters are all considered. Additionally, the influence of the EACLD patch orientation on static displacement and stress are considered. Simulation results indicate that reasonable selection of the parameters for the EACLD patch and edge element can enhance vibration damping effectiveness, which can provide effective design guidance for active vibration control of the pipeline system.
