Abstract

AbstractThe nonlinear dynamic model of flexible pipe–beam suspended by spatial system of cables is proposed for vibration analysis of pipeline suspension bridges. The model, based on substructure technique, is considered as an assemblage of the following substructures: cables, hangers and pipe–beam. Equation of motion of pipe–beam is derived by Galerkin's FEM with the original finite element formulated in order to include moving mass of transported fluid. To describe cable vibrations, general continuum approach proposed in Ref.[1] is adopted with application into 3D model. Cable model takes into account initial sag, pre–tension force, large displacements and hangers' point reactions. Equation governing the motion of pipe–beam with cables and hangers is obtained regarding equilibrium conditions of interaction forces and compatibility of displacements at connection points between substructures.
