Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid mechanics and fluid-structure interaction vibration analysis, and in particular to a semi-analytical calculation method for analyzing the free vibration characteristics of a fluid-filled functional gradient pipe structure on an elastic foundation. Background Technology

[0002] Functionally graded pipelines (FGRs), with their continuously adjustable material properties along the thickness direction, are widely used in engineering scenarios such as fuel transportation in aerospace propulsion systems, deep-water oil pipelines in ships, and coolant pipelines in nuclear power plants. These scenarios typically involve a multi-physics coupled environment of "pipeline-fluid-foundation"—the pipeline must continuously transport fluid media such as fuel, crude oil, and coolant, while the external structure relies on an elastic foundation for support and fixation. Their free vibration characteristics directly determine the system's operational safety and service life. For example, in the aerospace field, excessive pipeline vibration can lead to unstable fluid transport, causing fluctuations in engine thrust; in marine engineering, the superposition of pipeline vibration and wave loads can cause weld cracking, leading to the risk of crude oil leakage; in nuclear power plant scenarios, abnormal vibration of coolant pipelines can even affect the heat exchange efficiency of the nuclear reactor, creating potential safety hazards. Therefore, accurately analyzing the free vibration characteristics of fluid-filled FGRs on elastic foundations is a core requirement for ensuring the reliable operation of such engineering systems.

[0003] Current technical solutions for vibration analysis of fluid-filled pipelines on elastic foundations have significant limitations. Firstly, traditional finite element methods require separate three-dimensional volumetric meshing for the pipeline's structural and fluid domains. When dealing with problems such as continuous thickness variations in functionally graded materials (FJCTs) and dynamic fluid-structure coupling, mesh generation is not only difficult and computationally intensive, but also prone to numerical discretization errors due to mesh distortion. This is particularly problematic in complex geometric scenarios such as multi-cavity pipelines with varying diameters, where computational efficiency falls short of the need for rapid comparison of multiple solutions during engineering design. Secondly, analytical methods based on classical shell theory or first-order shear deformation theory require simplified assumptions regarding the pipeline's three-dimensional stress state and fluid dynamic pressure distribution. These assumptions fail to accurately capture the impact of FJCT non-uniformity and the dual-parameter support effect (compression and shear) of the elastic foundation on vibration characteristics, leading to significant discrepancies between calculation results and actual engineering conditions. This makes them unsuitable for high-precision applications such as aerospace and marine engineering.

[0004] While the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) offers advantages such as discrete boundary conditions and radial analytical solutions, combining the flexibility of numerical methods with the accuracy of analytical methods, its traditional application relies on a fixed scaling center. When simulating structures with large aspect ratios and regular geometric shapes, such as pipes, it is prone to introducing geometric discretization errors due to the mismatch between the scaling center and the pipe axis. Furthermore, it has not developed a dedicated computational framework for multi-field coupling scenarios involving functionally graded materials (FJCTs), fluid filling, and elastic foundations. This makes it difficult to efficiently integrate the power-law distribution characteristics of FJCTs along their thickness and accurately integrate the reaction force calculations of the Pasternak two-parameter foundation model, resulting in significant shortcomings in the adaptability of this method in practical engineering applications.

[0005] Existing technical solutions cannot simultaneously meet the triple requirements of accurate modeling of multi-field coupling, efficient calculation of complex scenarios, and deep adaptation to engineering needs. There is an urgent need for a semi-analytical calculation technique that can closely fit the actual engineering environment and avoid the limitations of pure theoretical derivation, so as to fill the gap between numerical methods and engineering applications.

[0055] A fluid-structure interaction model of a fluid-filled functionally graded pipe on an elastic foundation is established in Cartesian coordinates. Based on three-dimensional elasticity theory, considering the gradient variation of material properties along the thickness direction, the geometric and physical equations of the pipe's structural domain are obtained. The internal fluid is considered as an inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational ideal fluid. Considering the fluid-structure interaction effect, the governing equations of the fluid domain expressed in terms of hydrodynamic pressure and the boundary conditions at the free surface, bottom, and interface are derived. Simultaneously, a two-parameter Pasternak model is used to simulate the supporting effect of the elastic foundation on the pipe.

By introducing equivalent nodal force vectors, the governing equations are transformed into a system of first-order variable-coefficient differential equations along the pipeline thickness direction, which are then solved using the precise integration method. Finally, the dynamic stiffness equation of the structural domain integrating the elastic foundation effect is obtained.

[0058] The proportional boundary finite element control equations of the structural domain and fluid domain are derived separately, and then transformed into a set of first-order variable coefficient differential equations. The precise integration method and eigenvalue decomposition method are used to solve them respectively, and the dynamic stiffness equation of the structural domain and the dynamic equation of the fluid domain are obtained.

[0059] The boundary of the fluid domain is discretized using two-dimensional high-order spectral elements. Interpolation and coordinate transformation of the elements are performed using shape functions to transform the fundamental equations and boundary conditions of the fluid domain into a scaled boundary coordinate system. The weighted residual method is used to establish the scaled boundary finite element governing equations of the fluid domain. By introducing intermediate variables, the governing equations are transformed into a system of first-order variable-coefficient differential equations, which are then solved using the eigenvalue decomposition method. Finally, the fluid domain dynamic equations describing the relationship between hydrodynamic pressure and the normal displacement at the interface are obtained.

[0060] Based on the force balance and kinematic compatibility conditions at the fluid-structure interaction interface, the fluid dynamic pressure is used as an additional load to couple the equations of the structural domain and the fluid domain, forming the system dynamic control equations.

[0061] Based on the correspondence between the nodes of the fluid domain and the structural domain at the coupling interface, the obtained dynamic equations of the structural domain and the fluid domain are expressed in blocks. Based on the force balance condition and kinematic compatibility condition at the fluid-structure interaction interface, the fluid dynamic pressure is introduced as an additional load into the structural equations, and the dynamic control equations of the entire system are obtained through coupling.

[0062] The system dynamics control equations are transformed into a generalized eigenvalue problem, and the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of the pipeline are obtained by solving the problem, thus completing the free vibration characteristic analysis.

[0063] For the free vibration problem, the governing equations of the coupled system are expressed as a generalized eigenvalue problem. By solving this eigenvalue problem, the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of the fluid-filled functionally graded pipeline on the elastic foundation can be directly obtained. Based on these calculation results, the free vibration characteristics of the system can be comprehensively analyzed, and its dynamic response law can be determined.

[0064] Furthermore, when establishing the structural model of the fluid-filled functionally graded material (FGM) pipe-elastic foundation system in the Cartesian coordinate system (x,y,z), it is necessary to construct mathematical models for the FGM pipe structural domain, the Pasternak elastic foundation, and the fluid domain respectively. The basic equations and boundary conditions of each domain are derived theoretically, as follows:

[0065] FGM pipes are composed of a ceramic phase (reinforcing phase) and a metallic phase (matrix phase). Their material properties change continuously along the pipe thickness direction according to a power-law function.

[0227]

[0228] In this embodiment, a structural model of a fluid-filled functionally graded pipeline on an elastic foundation is established. Based on elasticity theory and the Laplace equation, the fundamental equations of the structural and fluid domains are established. Higher-order spectral element shape functions are used to interpolate and approximate the structural and fluid domains respectively. The proportional boundary finite element control equations of the structural and fluid domains are derived through coordinate transformation combined with the virtual work principle and the weighted residual method. The equations are solved using the precise integration method and the eigenvalue solving method, further obtaining the dynamic equilibrium equations of the structural and fluid domains. Based on the coupling of equilibrium and compatibility conditions, the free vibration control equations of the fluid-filled functionally graded pipeline are obtained. This invention reduces the computational cost of the mechanical properties of fluid-filled functionally graded pipelines, thereby improving computational efficiency.

[0229] Based on Example 1, this example details a semi-analytical calculation method for the free vibration of a fluid-filled functionally graded pipeline on an elastic foundation. It verifies the numerical simulation of the free vibration characteristics of this invention in fluid-structure interaction of an isotropic pipeline through the analysis of the free vibration characteristics. Specifically:

[0230] like Figure 2 As shown, given a pipe container model that is unfilled, half-filled, and fully filled with liquid, the geometric parameters of the container structure are radius and length. Container height ,thickness The material parameter is the elastic modulus. Poisson's ratio ,density The liquid inside the container is assumed to be water, and its density is... .

[0231] like Figure 3As shown, this is the discretization method of the high-order spectral elements for the pipeline structure reference surface, including three element types: 4th, 5th, and 6th order. The upper half of the figure presents the geometric shape of the pipeline structure (a curved functionally graded pipeline), and the reference surface used for scaled boundary coordinate transformation is marked by similar surfaces. The lower half shows the details of the high-order spectral elements of different orders: each element has a different number of nodes distributed in the local coordinate system (η-ζ) (the 4th order element has the fewest nodes, and the 6th order element has the most nodes). This type of high-order spectral element is the core tool for discretizing the pipeline reference surface in this invention—through shape function interpolation, the complex curved surface geometry of the pipeline can be transformed to the standard scaled boundary coordinate system, which not only preserves the actual geometric shape of the pipeline, but also utilizes the high precision characteristics of high-order elements to avoid the geometric approximation errors of traditional low-order elements when discretizing complex curved surfaces.

[0232] like Figure 4 As shown, the scaled boundary finite element discretization logic of the three-dimensional pipeline structure includes similarity centers and higher-order spectral elements. The cube in the figure represents the geometric model of the three-dimensional functional gradient pipeline. The similarity center is the reference point for the coordinate transformation of the scaled boundary. The geometry of each part of the pipeline can be obtained by scaling outward from this center. The magnified area on the right is the higher-order spectral element on the pipeline boundary (node ​​distribution in the local coordinate system η-ζ). This invention only needs to discretize the outer boundary of the pipeline (instead of the three-dimensional volume mesh of the traditional method) to complete the modeling of the pipeline structural domain: by utilizing the scaling characteristics of the similarity center and combining the high-precision interpolation of the higher-order spectral elements, it can accurately reproduce the three-dimensional geometry of the pipeline, significantly reduce the discrete degrees of freedom, and avoid the mesh distortion problem caused by volume meshing.

[0233] like Figure 5 As shown, a support model of a functionally graded pipeline on an elastic foundation (Pasternak two-parameter foundation) is presented. The curved surface structure in the figure is the functionally graded pipeline (the geometric parameters of the pipeline are labeled a, b, h, and R). The spring layer and shear layer below the pipeline correspond to the compressive support and shear support effects of the Pasternak model, respectively. The spring layer simulates the normal reaction force of the foundation on the pipeline (corresponding to the foundation compressive modulus), while the shear layer simulates the shear force transmission inside the foundation (corresponding to the foundation shear modulus).

[0234] The free vibration frequencies of the fluid-structure interaction system were obtained by solving the generalized eigenvalue problem. The first eight natural frequencies were selected and compared with the results calculated by the finite element method in existing technologies such as Mazuche et al. (1996), Ergin and Ugurlu (2004), and Marimuthu et al. (2015). Table 1 shows the comparison of the first eight natural frequencies of the fluid filling fluid in the isotropic pipe with no filling, half filling, and complete filling with liquid obtained by the present invention and other methods. As can be seen from Table 1, the results calculated by the present invention basically converge at the 7th element order, and the converged results are basically consistent with the finite element method calculation results of Mazuche et al. (1996), Ergin and Ugurlu (2004), and Marimuthu et al. (2015), indicating that the present invention can achieve high accuracy with fewer meshes and lower computational cost.

[0235] Table 1 Comparison of the first eight natural frequencies of isotropic pipe-filled fluid calculated by this invention and other methods.

[0236] To further verify the efficiency and accuracy of the provided numerical analysis method, the free vibration characteristics of a functionally graded pipeline on an elastic foundation were analyzed. Table 2 shows the convergence of the natural frequencies of the functionally graded pipeline on the elastic foundation. The geometric parameters are a=l=10h=0.2. The material parameters correspond to the bottom layer aluminum and the top layer alumina, respectively. The relevant foundation parameters and calculation results were normalized to... and The natural frequency of the structure is normalized to Three types of foundation support conditions were considered: no foundation support, Winkler foundation support, and Pasternak foundation support. The computational model used 4th to 7th order spectral elements with an 8×2 mesh, and its results were compared with those based on FSDT.

[0237] Table 2 Comparison of the first eight natural frequencies of a functionally graded pipeline based on elasticity calculated by this invention and other methods.

[0238] As shown in Table 2, the calculation results obtained in this paper are highly consistent with the comparison reference, which not only demonstrates the accuracy of the calculation and analysis of the free vibration of the functionally graded pipe structure placed on the basis of two-parameter elasticity, but also shows its robustness under different foundation scenarios.

[0239] This embodiment details the numerical simulation of the free vibration characteristics of a fluid-filled functionally graded pipeline on an elastic foundation, demonstrating its ability to accurately reproduce vibration patterns under multi-physics coupling. By combining three-dimensional elasticity theory with the scaled boundary finite element method, it avoids the accuracy deficiencies of traditional simplified models. It accurately captures the influence of functionally graded material inhomogeneity, hydrodynamic pressure effects, and the dual-parameter support of the elastic foundation on vibration characteristics. Furthermore, the calculation can be completed using only discrete boundaries, effectively balancing accuracy and efficiency. The simulation results provide a reliable basis for pipeline structure vibration control and parameter optimization, avoiding engineering design risks caused by simulation deviations, and are adaptable to pipeline vibration analysis needs in various scenarios.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, integrations, and parameter changes made to these embodiments within the spirit and principles of the present invention, without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, through conventional substitutions or to achieve the same function, fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
