Abstract
This paper addresses the effects of dynamic events induced by support motion on piping systems with snubbers having variable gap sizes. The investigation consists of 3 parts: (i) Mathematical examination of a linear I DOF mass-spring-snubber system with gap size zero or infinity. (ii) Numerical analysis of a piecewise linear I DOF mass-spring-snubber system with varying gap sizes, by means of a simple computer code. (iii) Numerical analysis of a realistic three-dimensional piping system with 3 snubbers, each having 4 different gap sizes, with the aid of a non-linear F.E. code.
