Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline system dynamics analysis technology, specifically to a frequency domain TMM calculation method for pipelines containing elastic elements. It is applicable to complex pipeline systems containing elastic elements (such as flexible joints and bellows) and elastic supports in industries such as marine engineering, shipbuilding, and aerospace. It is particularly useful for the frequency domain dynamics analysis of chain-structure pipelines on ships, providing a core calculation method for low-vibration design and vibration control of pipeline systems. Background Technology
[0002] Piping systems are critical infrastructure for transferring fluid mass, energy, and momentum, and are widely used in marine engineering, shipbuilding, aerospace, and other fields. Under the combined influence of internal fluid excitations (such as pressure fluctuations) and external environmental loads (such as mechanical vibrations), piping systems are prone to flow-induced vibrations, leading to structural fatigue, noise radiation, and reduced system safety. Especially in scenarios with high stealth requirements, such as ships, vibration noise propagating through the hull can threaten overall stealth safety. Therefore, accurately predicting vibration characteristics is a core aspect of low-vibration design in the design, optimization, and fault diagnosis of piping systems.
[0003] Currently, the calculation methods for flow-induced vibration in pipeline systems are mainly divided into two categories:
[0004] (1) Three-dimensional full-time domain method: Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the flow inside the pipe, and combined with the finite element method (FEM) to solve the pipe wall vibration. Although this method can provide high-precision dynamic data, it requires a lot of mesh generation and computational resources, which is inefficient and difficult to apply to complex pipeline systems in engineering practice.
[0005] (2) Three-dimensional time-frequency hybrid method: The computational burden is reduced by partial simplification, but the efficiency is still poor due to the complexity of the pipeline system (such as large length-to-diameter ratio and diverse component forms).
[0006] In recent years, the frequency domain transfer matrix method (TMM) has been introduced into the analysis of chain-structured pipelines due to its high efficiency. Based on a 14-equation model (such as Timoshenko beam theory), TMM simplifies the three-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional wave equation, significantly improving computational efficiency. However, existing TMM models are mainly designed for rigid pipelines and have significant limitations when dealing with elastic elements (such as flexible nozzles and bellows) and elastic supports.
[0007] (1) The model is limited to axial effects and fails to fully cover multi-directional fluid forces;
[0008] (2) There is a lack of a unified method for constructing the field transfer matrix of elastic elements, which makes it impossible to accurately describe the dynamic characteristics of elastic elements (such as impedance parameters);
[0009] (3) It relies on experimental databases or complex numerical simulations and has poor versatility.
[0010] None of the above methods can solve the flow-induced vibration problem of pipeline systems containing elastic elements while balancing accuracy and efficiency, highlighting the urgent need to develop high-precision and high-efficiency frequency domain TMM calculation methods. Summary of the Invention
[0011] (I) Purpose of the Invention
[0012] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability of traditional rigid pipeline TMM calculation methods to accurately describe the characteristics of elastic elements, the insufficient accuracy or inefficiency of simple elastic pipeline analysis methods, and the lack of a unified method for constructing the field transfer matrix of elastic elements and a complete frequency domain TMM calculation logic, this invention aims to provide a frequency domain TMM calculation method for pipelines containing elastic elements. This method establishes a field transfer matrix construction method for elastic elements and elastic supports, forming a complete frequency domain TMM calculation logic. This enables high-precision and efficient calculation of the frequency domain response of pipeline systems containing elastic elements, solving the problems of difficulty in balancing accuracy and efficiency and poor versatility in the analysis of complex elastic pipelines using traditional methods. This provides reliable technical support for the design optimization of pipeline systems containing elastic elements.
[0013] (II) Technical Solution
[0014] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a frequency domain TMM calculation method for pipelines containing elastic elements. Its core lies in the method for constructing the field transfer matrix of the elastic element and elastic support, and the corresponding frequency domain TMM calculation logic, specifically including:
[0015] (1) Basic modeling and coordinate system setting
[0016] 1. Establish a local coordinate system for the straight pipe.
[0017] Establish a local coordinate system for the straight pipe based on the right-hand rule (see...). Figure 2 The z-direction is along the pipe axis, and the yz plane is horizontal. To simplify the calculation, the effect of gravity is ignored. Each straight pipe element includes 14 variables: 6 forces, 6 velocities, sound pressure, and fluid vibration velocity. According to their vibration mode, they are divided into three categories: axial vibration, transverse vibration, and torsional vibration.
[0018] 2. System Unit Division
[0019] Based on the research on the piping system, it is first divided into different piping units, such as straight pipe units, bend units, elastic element units (such as flexible nozzles and bellows), elastic support units, and nodes. Secondly, according to the nodal force balance and continuity conditions, branch, external load, and coordinate transformation matrices, as well as common boundary constraint matrices, are established to provide a structural foundation for the subsequent construction of the transfer matrix. This step ensures that the piping system is decomposed into chain-like units, facilitating the application of TMM calculation logic.
[0020] 3. Establish a 14-equation model for piping components using Timoshenko beam theory.
[0021] A 14-equation model of the pipeline component is established using Timoshenko beam theory to analyze its vibration characteristics, which are uniformly expressed as Equation 1:

For straight pipe components, the parameters are defined as follows:

[0035] M = ρ p A p +ρ f A f A f ρ is the cross-sectional area of the fluid; f The fluid density is given.
[0036] (2) Constructing the field transfer matrix of the elastic element
[0037] 1. Establish the force and velocity transmission characteristics at the input and output ends of the elastic element.
[0038] Drawing inspiration from the four-terminal parameter method, piping systems containing elastic elements (flexible connectors, bellows) are considered as linear mechanical systems (see...). Figure 6 Considering its dynamic transmission characteristics, the transmission characteristics of force and velocity at the input and output ends of the elastic element are obtained using the four-terminal parameter method (Equation 2), and then simplified into the form of a transmission matrix (Equation 3).
[0039]
[0040] In the formula, Z 11 Z 22 The mechanical impedance at the origin, Z 21 Z 12 To transmit mechanical impedance, the methods for obtaining mechanical impedance can be divided into: (a) building a separate test bench for the elastic element and measuring the origin mechanical impedance Z through vibration test. 11 Z 22 and the mechanical impedance Z 12 Z 21(a) The test frequency range is 5-1000Hz; (b) Establish a numerical calculation model of the elastic element, extract the resisting force and response speed, and obtain the mechanical impedance Z at the origin. 11 Z 22 and the mechanical impedance Z 12 Z 21 v1 and f1 are the input velocities and forces, and v2 and f2 are the output velocities and forces.
[0041]
[0042] f = Z b v, where f is the force; Z b ν is the input impedance of the flexible base, which can be obtained by experiment, numerical calculation, or a combination of both; v is the speed.

[0046] The field transfer matrix of the elastic element is constructed based on the impedance parameters (Formula 4). After the field matrix of the elastic element is constructed, the overall transfer matrix of the system is updated according to the nodal force balance condition and the continuity condition to ensure that the dynamic characteristics of the elastic element are integrated into the system dynamics model.
[0047] (3) Constructing the elastic support field transfer matrix
[0048] 1. Establish a pipeline support system model
[0049] Based on the actual flexible support form of the pipeline system, a pipeline support system model is established (see...). Figure 3 This includes the vibration-isolated pipe, elastic supports, and flexible base. Analogous to the process of establishing the transfer matrix at a branch pipe point, the supports and flexible base are considered as a branch pipe. At the pipe support node, the state vectors on the pipe are Ф... L and Ф R The state vector of the pipeline support is Ф U The state vector at the connection between the support and the flexible base is Ф. D .
[0050] 2. Establish the field transfer matrix of the elastic support.
[0051] Considering the variation of stiffness and damping of pipeline supports with frequency in practical engineering, and drawing analogy to the construction of the field transfer matrix of an elastic element, the field transfer matrix of the elastic support is as follows:
[0052]
[0053] The corresponding propagation relationship of the upper and lower state vectors is as follows
[0054] Φ U =U Z Φ D (Formula 6)
[0055] Considering the non-rigidity of the flexible base, the force and velocity balance equation in the z-direction at the flexible base is:
[0056] f = Z b v, in this formula, Z b The input impedance of the flexible base is given. The impedance parameters of the elastic support and the flexible base are obtained by: (a) using the finite element numerical calculation method to obtain the impedance parameters of the elastic support and the flexible base; (b) using experimental measurements to obtain the input impedance Z-impedance parameters of the elastic support and the flexible base; and (c) combining numerical calculation and experimental methods to obtain the impedance parameters of the elastic support and the flexible base.
[0057] The flexible base is treated as a special boundary condition, and its boundary matrix B b for
[0058]
[0059] 3. Establish the point transfer matrix at the pipe support in the flexible support system.
[0060] Analogous to the treatment of branch pipes, the pipe supports and flexible bases in the vibration isolation system are treated as special branch pipes, and a point transfer matrix is established at the pipe supports in the elastic support system:
[0061]
[0062] In the formula, P1, P2, and P3 are the node state vector correlation matrices, and A2 and A3 are matrix decomposition parameters. 0 7×14 It is a 14-dimensional identity matrix.
[0063] Therefore, the transfer matrix of the pipeline elastic support point can be obtained (Formula 9), where Us includes the influence of pipeline support and flexible base.
[0064]
[0065] Based on impedance parameters, construct the elastic support field transfer matrix (Formula 5) and the point transfer matrix (Formula 9). After the elastic support field matrix is constructed, combine it with the field matrix of the existing system (including straight pipes and elastic elements) according to the pipeline connection relationship. Based on the nodal force balance condition and continuity condition, update the overall transfer matrix of the pipeline system to realize the dynamic coupling between the elastic support and the system.

Therefore, a TMM calculation method based on the frequency domain approach, suitable for fluid-structure interaction analysis of complex piping systems, is established. The specific calculation and verification process includes:
[0076] Step 1: Based on the pipeline system under study, divide it into straight pipe units, elastic element units, elastic support units and nodes. According to the node force balance conditions and continuity conditions, establish the branch, external load and coordinate transformation matrices as well as common boundary constraint matrices.
[0077] Step 2: For each straight pipe unit, establish 14 equations based on Timoshenko beam theory to construct the straight pipe field transfer matrix;

[0082] Step 7: Based on Step 4, add elastic support units. According to the connection relationship (such as the position of support nodes), combine the field transfer matrix and point transfer matrix of the elastic support (the result of Step 6) with the field matrix of the existing system (including straight pipes and elastic elements). According to the nodal force balance condition and continuity condition, update the overall transfer matrix of the system containing elastic supports to realize the dynamic coupling between the elastic support and the system.
[0083] Step 8: Set the boundary conditions for the piping system (e.g., fixed end or free end), substitute the obtained impedance parameters including the elastic support into the frequency domain TMM calculation to determine the piping vibration response (apply a simple harmonic force with an amplitude of 1N in the middle section of the pipe), and compare the results with the finite element analysis or experimental data to verify the correctness of the elastic support component.
[0084] Step 9: Design and build the pipeline under test containing elastic elements and elastic supports. Repeat steps 3 and 6, and construct the field transfer matrix of the elastic elements and elastic supports by combining the elastic element impedance parameters obtained from experiments or numerical calculations.

[0088] (iv) Beneficial effects
[0089] (1) The frequency domain TMM calculation method for pipelines with elastic elements proposed in this invention can accurately reflect the dynamic characteristics of elastic elements by integrating the impedance / stiffness parameters of elastic elements obtained by experiments or numerical calculations. This solves the problem that existing TMM models cannot fully cover the multi-directional force influence of elastic elements and significantly improves the accuracy of vibration calculation for pipeline systems with elastic elements.
[0090] (2) Based on the 14-equation model of Timoshenko beam theory, the three-dimensional structure is simplified into a one-dimensional beam element. Combined with the solution logic of frequency domain TMM, the large amount of meshing and node mapping work in the three-dimensional CFD-FEM hybrid method is avoided. While ensuring the accuracy of calculation, the computational complexity is greatly reduced, the consumption of computational resources is reduced, and the solution efficiency is significantly improved.
[0091] (3) This method can directly utilize the characteristic parameters (impedance / stiffness) of commonly used elastic elements in engineering. Through matrix integration, the requirement for calculation input is reduced, avoiding additional measurement costs. It has strong adaptability and can be widely applied to pipeline systems containing complex elastic elements such as flexible pipes, bellows, and vibration isolators.
