Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration characteristic analysis technology for transmission pipelines, and specifically to a method for predicting stability parameters of multi-span elastically supported transmission pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Fluid transport pipelines are widely used in engineering fields such as aerospace, petrochemicals, and hydraulic transmission, and are core components of fluid transport systems. When the fluid velocity inside the pipe exceeds a critical value, the pipeline is prone to fluid-structure interaction vibration instability, manifested as buckling deformation and resonance, which seriously threatens system safety and structural lifespan. To suppress vibration and improve stability, intermediate supports are often used in engineering to locally constrain the pipeline, while elastic support boundaries composed of a combination of linear springs and torsion springs are used at the ends to simulate actual installation conditions.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, existing vibration modeling of transmission pipelines mostly adopts a monolithic pipe model, with intermediate support constraints implemented using the Dirac delta method. While directly embedding the function into the vibration control equation is simple to derive, it has several drawbacks. The deep coupling between the constraint terms and the main equation leads to ambiguity in physical meaning, making it difficult to intuitively reflect the influence of the support on the mechanical behavior of the pipe segments. The introduction of singular functions into the main equation can easily introduce calculation errors when numerical discretization occurs. Furthermore, it is difficult to clearly distinguish between "pipe mechanical behavior" and "support constraint effect," and numerical calculations are difficult to converge.

[0004] Studies have shown that the parameter combination of intermediate supports and end elastic constraints significantly affects the critical flow velocity and vibration characteristics of pipelines, while traditional monolithic pipe models have limitations in characterizing such multi-constraint effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-span pipe modeling method that incorporates support constraints into the boundary conditions to predict the stability parameters of flow transmission pipelines with intermediate supports and end elastic constraints, providing a reliable basis for vibration reduction design in engineering projects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by proposing a method for predicting the stability parameters of multi-span elastically supported transmission pipes. This method involves splitting the pipe into multiple independent structural segments at the support locations and fully incorporating the intermediate support constraints into the inter-span coupling boundary conditions, thus avoiding the Dirac delta problem found in traditional monolithic pipe models. Embedding functions into the master equation leads to drawbacks such as ambiguous physical meaning and difficulty in achieving convergence in numerical calculations.

[0100] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0101] By adopting a multi-span pipe modeling scheme, the intermediate support constraints are fully incorporated into the inter-span coupled boundary conditions rather than the master equation. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam model and momentum theorem, the vibration control equation is established and solved using the generalized integral transform method (GITT). This effectively considers the effects of intermediate support stiffness, position, and end constraints on the dynamic characteristics of the conveying pipe, and achieves high-precision prediction of the natural frequency.

[0102] This method has clear physical meaning, good numerical stability, and wide applicability. It is not only applicable to the prediction of stability parameters such as natural frequency of flow transport pipeline systems with intermediate supports and elastic end constraints, but can also be extended to the prediction of critical parameters of other multi-span and multi-support constraints fluid transport systems, providing technical support for engineering vibration reduction design and structural safety assessment.

[0106] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples:

[0107] This scheme, under the assumption of small deformation, divides the pipeline into multiple independent structural segments at the intermediate support location. Based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and momentum theorem, the vibration control equations for multi-span conveying pipelines are derived. These equations only reflect the coupling effects of bending force, centrifugal force, gravity, Coriolis force, and inertial force, without including any intermediate support constraint terms. Dimensionless parameters are then defined and the vibration control equations are made dimensionless. Combining the elastic support boundary conditions of the end-spring-torsion spring combination with the continuous boundary conditions of continuous displacement, rotation angle, bending moment, and shear force balance between spans, the characteristic equations, characteristic functions, and eigenvalues ​​under these complex boundary conditions are derived. Orthogonality conditions of the characteristic functions are obtained through orthogonal normalization. Then, a generalized integral transformation is applied to each term of the vibration differential equations, converting the partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. Finally, the system of ordinary differential equations obtained by the integral transformation is solved in a matrix manner, allowing numerical calculation to obtain the natural frequency.

[0203] Figure 3 The figure shows the variation of the real and imaginary parts of the first four natural frequencies of a multi-span pipeline with the dimensionless flow velocity Γ. The real part reflects the attenuation characteristics and stability level of the system's vibration amplitude, while the imaginary part characterizes the magnitude of the angular frequency of the vibration. As shown in the figure, with the continuous increase of the dimensionless flow velocity Γ, the real part of each natural frequency generally shows a monotonically decreasing trend, indicating that the system is gradually transitioning from a strongly stable state to a critically stable state and even an unstable state. The imaginary part shows obvious steps and fluctuations in the high-velocity range, reflecting the modal transition characteristics under strong fluid-structure interaction. That is, the coupling effect of fluid inertial force and pipeline elastic force excites the participation of higher-order modes, resulting in abrupt changes in vibration frequency.
