A systematic analysis is conducted to evaluate the effects of spring parameters on the non-planar vibration characteristics and buckling behaviors of the coupled system. The nonlinear governing equations are derived with Hamilton's principle,subsequently discretized through Galerkin's method, and finally numerically solved by the Runge-Kutta algorithm. Based on the linearized equations, an eigenvalue analysis is performed to obtain the coupled frequencies, modal shapes, and critical flow velocities for buckling instability. Quantitative assessments further elucidate the effects of the spring position and stiffness coefficient on the coupled frequencies and critical flow velocities.Nonlinear dynamic analyses reveal the evolution of buckling patterns and bifurcation behaviors between the lateral displacements of the two pipes and the flow velocity. Numerical results indicate that the intermediate spring increases the susceptibility to buckling instability in the out-of-plane direction compared with the in-plane direction. Furthermore, synchronized lateral displacements emerge in both pipes when the flow velocity of one pipe exceeds the critical threshold. This work is expected to provide a theoretical foundation for the stability assessment and vibration analysis in coupled fluid-conveying pipe systems.展开更多

文摘This work investigated the dynamic behavior of vertical pipes conveying gas-liquid two-phase flow when subjected to external excitations at both ends.Even with minimal excitation amplitude,resonance can occur when the excitation frequency aligns with the natural frequency of the pipe,significantly increasing the degree of operational risk.The governing equation of motion based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam is derived for the relative deflection with stationary simply supported ends,with the effects of the external excitations represented by source terms distributed along the pipe length.The fourth-order partial differential equation is solved via the generalized integral transform technique(GITT),with the solution successfully verified via comparison with results in the literature.A comprehensive analysis of the vibration phenomena and changes in the motion state of the pipe is conducted for three classes of external excitation conditions:same frequency and amplitude(SFSA),same frequency but different amplitudes(SFDA),and different frequencies and amplitudes(DFDA).The numerical results show that with increasing gas volume fraction,the position corresponding to the maximum vibration displacement shifts upward.Compared with conditions without external excitation,the vibration displacement of the pipe conveying two-phase flow under external excitation increases significantly.The frequency of external excitation has a significant effect on the dynamic behavior of a pipe conveying two-phase flow.
文摘A new model of periodic structure is proposed and analyzed.This structure is composed of an inner fluid-conveying pipe with periodic material arrangement carrying periodic arrays of outer cantilever pipes.The generalized differential quadrature rule(GDQR)method combined with the Bloch theorem is used to calculate the vibration band gaps of the structure.Results are verified by the forced vibration responses obtained using the GDQR method.Results indicate that the first two band gaps of the fluid-conveying pipe with periodic material arrangement can get close to each other and move to low frequency regions by changing the length of cantilever pipes.For high fluid velocity values in which the first band gap starts from zero frequency,since the second band is very close to the first band,this periodic structure can be used for vibration reduction over a wide band gap starting from zero frequency.Based on these results,it can be concluded that instead of increasing the total size of the periodic structure,these periodic arrays of cantilever pipes can be implemented to create a wide ultra-low-frequency band gap.Finally,verification of the GDQR method shows that it can be used as a precise numerical method for vibration analysis of the structures such as fluid-conveying pipes and moving belts.

文摘Among different existing vibration isolation methods,open trenches is a technique that is commonly used for reducing the transfer of ground vibrations.Despite many benefits of such a technique for isolating ground vibrations,its primary disadvantage is its instability and lack of vibration isolation effectiveness apart from the stability of the trenches.To address these concerns,a new technique has been developed by the authors,which includes filling up these trenches with a group of hollow pipes in a specific pattern.This is a novel method for reducing ground vibrations by burying hollow pipes horizontally.Through the use of three-dimensional(3D)finite-element modeling,the effectiveness of such hollow pipes in decreasing ground vibrations generated by harmonic stress excitation on the ground surface was investigated.Compared to open trench and rows of piles,these pipe assemblages have been shown to be very successful in reducing ground vibration transmission while also addressing issues of instability and enhancing vibration isolation efficiency.A 3D dynamic numerical model is constructed in PLAXIS3D,and the findings are validated against earlier publications.Next,a comparison research study is conducted,with its focus between horizontal hollow and vertical pipe piles.Finally,a detailed parametric study is carried out to establish the effect of each of the wave barrier’s architectural,material,and loading elements on its vibration isolation effectiveness.Critical parameters are discovered and tuned to maximize the efficiency of this new technique.

文摘With the development of space-based remote sensing and deep space exploration technology,higher standards for temperature stability and uniformity of payloads have been proposed to spacecraft thermal control systems.As an efficient two-phase heat transfer device with active temperature control capabilities,the loop heat pipe(LHP)can be widely applied in spacecraft thermal control systems to achieve reliable temperature control under various operating modes and complex space thermal environments.This paper analyzes the fundamental theories of thermal switch-controlled,reservoir temperature-controlled,and bypass valve-controlled LHPs.The focus is on the theories and methods of achieving high-precision and high-reliability temperature control via active reservoir temperature control.Novel control techniques in recent years,such as non-condensable gas(NCG)control with a temperature stability of 0.01℃ ,are also briefly introduced as promising approaches to improve LHP performance.The on-orbit performance and characteristics of various LHP temperature control methods are provided and ranked in terms of control precision,energy consumption,complexity,and weight.Thermoelectric cooler(TEC)/electrical heater,as the foundation of reservoir temperature control,can achieve a temperature stability of in space applications under±0.2℃ a wide range of heat load.Microgravity model,control strategy,and operating mode conversion are three optimization directions that would hopefully further expand the application scenario of reservoir temperature control.Specific design principles and challenges for corresponding directions are summarized as guidance for researchers.

文摘Multi-constrained pipes conveying fluid,such as aircraft hydraulic control pipes,are susceptible to resonance fatigue in harsh vibration environments,which may lead to system failure and even catastrophic accidents.In this study,a machine learning(ML)-assisted weak vibration design method under harsh environmental excitations is proposed.The dynamic model of a typical pipe is developed using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation(ANCF)to determine its vibrational characteristics.With the harsh vibration environments as the preserved frequency band(PFB),the safety design is defined by comparing the natural frequency with the PFB.By analyzing the safety design of pipes with different constraint parameters,the dataset of the absolute safety length and the absolute resonance length of the pipe is obtained.This dataset is then utilized to develop genetic programming(GP)algorithm-based ML models capable of producing explicit mathematical expressions of the pipe's absolute safety length and absolute resonance length with the location,stiffness,and total number of retaining clips as design variables.The proposed ML models effectively bridge the dataset with the prediction results.Thus,the ML model is utilized to stagger the natural frequency,and the PFB is utilized to achieve the weak vibration design.The findings of the present study provide valuable insights into the practical application of weak vibration design.

文摘The diffusion of hydrogen-blended natural gas(HBNG)from buried pipelines in the event of a leak is typically influenced by soil properties,including porosity,particle size,temperature distribution,relative humidity,and the depth of the pipeline.This study models the soil as an isotropic porous medium and employs a CFD-based numerical framework to simulate gas propagation,accounting for the coupled effects of soil temperature and humidity.The model is rigorously validated against experimental data on natural gas diffusion in soil.It is then used to explore the impact of relevant parameters on the diffusion behavior of HBNG under conditions of low leakage flux.The results reveal distinct diffusion dynamics across different soil types:hydrogen(H_(2))diffuses most rapidly in clay,more slowly in sandy soil,and slowest in loam.At the ground surface directly above the leakage point,H_(2)concentrations rise rapidly initially before stabilizing,while at more distant surface locations,the increase is gradual,with delays that grow with distance.In particular,in a micro-leak scenario,characterized by a pipeline buried 0.8 m deep and a leakage velocity of 3.492 m/s,the time required for the H_(2)concentration to reach 1%at the surface,2 m horizontally from the leak source,is approximately 4.8 h for clay,5 h for sandy soil,and 7 h for loam.The time taken for gas to reach the surface is highly sensitive to the burial depth of the pipeline.After 18 h of diffusion,the surface H_(2)molar fraction directly above the leak reaches 3.75%,3.2%,and 2.75%for burial depths of 0.8,1.1,and 1.5 m,respectively,with the concentration inversely proportional to the depth.Soil temperature exerts minimal influence on the overall diffusion rate but slows the rise in H_(2)concentration directly above the leak as temperature increases.Meanwhile,the effect of soil humidity on H_(2)diffusion is negligible.

文摘In concentric annular pipes,the difference in curvature between the inner and outer wall surfaces creates significant variations in the heat transfer characteristics of the two surfaces.The simplifications of the Dittus-Boelter equation for circular pipes make it unsuitable for the complex flow induced by the geometry and heat transfer coupling effects in annular pipes.This prevents it from accurately predicting the turbulent heat transfer in concentric annular pipes.This paper used realizableκ–εand low Reynolds number models to conduct numerical simulations of turbulent convective heat transfer in concentric annular pipes and circular pipes.The results indicated that the local heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number of the inner wall surface of the annular pipe were both higher than those of the outer wall surface.The Darcy resistance coefficient decreased upon increasing the Reynolds number and increased with the inner diameter-to-outer diameter ratio.When using the equivalent diameter as the characteristic scale,the turbulent heat transfer correlation obtained from circular pipes produced significant errors when used to approximate the turbulent convective heat transfer in concentric annular pipes.This error was greater for the inner wall surface,especially when the inner and outer diameters were relatively small,as the Nusselt number error on the inner wall surface reached 60.62%.The error of the Nusselt number on the outer wall surface reached 19.51%.
文摘With different structural forms of ventilation pipes have various attenuation effects on incident shock waves while meeting ventilation requirements.The attenuation mechanism and the propagation law of shock waves in ventilation pipes of different structures are investigated by experiments and numerical simulations.Furthermore,for the same structure,the effects of peak pressure and positive pressure time on the attenuation rate are discussed.It is found that the attenuation rate increases with the incident shock wave pressure,and the shock wave attenuation rate tends to reach its limiting value k for the same structure and reasonably short positive pressure time.Under the same conditions,the attenuation rate is calculated using the pressure of the shock wave as follows:diffusion chamber pipe,branch pipe and selfconsumption pipe;the attenuation rate per unit volume is calculated as follows:self-consumption pipe,branch pipe and diffusion chamber pipe.In addition,an easy method is provided to calculate the attenuation rate of the shock wave in single and multi-stage ventilation pipes.Corresponding parameters are provided for various structures,and the margin of error between the formulae and experimental results is within 10%,which is significant for engineering applications.

文摘This study investigates the dynamical behavior of two parallel fluid-conveying pipes by developing a non-planar dynamical model of the two pipes coupled with an intermediate spring. A systematic analysis is conducted to evaluate the effects of spring parameters on the non-planar vibration characteristics and buckling behaviors of the coupled system. The nonlinear governing equations are derived with Hamilton's principle,subsequently discretized through Galerkin's method, and finally numerically solved by the Runge-Kutta algorithm. Based on the linearized equations, an eigenvalue analysis is performed to obtain the coupled frequencies, modal shapes, and critical flow velocities for buckling instability. Quantitative assessments further elucidate the effects of the spring position and stiffness coefficient on the coupled frequencies and critical flow velocities.Nonlinear dynamic analyses reveal the evolution of buckling patterns and bifurcation behaviors between the lateral displacements of the two pipes and the flow velocity. Numerical results indicate that the intermediate spring increases the susceptibility to buckling instability in the out-of-plane direction compared with the in-plane direction. Furthermore, synchronized lateral displacements emerge in both pipes when the flow velocity of one pipe exceeds the critical threshold. This work is expected to provide a theoretical foundation for the stability assessment and vibration analysis in coupled fluid-conveying pipe systems.

文摘Previous studies have demonstrated that the surge in jacking force during the Guanjingkou project is caused by the contact conditions of the debris bentonite slurry outside the pipe.Therefore,this paper further systematically investigates the influence of different debris slurry mass ratios(SLRs)and different particle size distributions(PSDs)on the pipe-rock friction characteristics using friction tests.The test results reveal that under the same PSD,an adequate amount of slurry(with an SLR of 1:4)consistently yields the lowest friction coefficient.When the SLR is between 1:2 and 1:3,the viscosity of the slurry reaches its peak,resulting in the highest friction coefficient.Additionally,when the PSD is 1:1:5 and 1:1:15,the friction coefficient is primarily governed by the plowing effect at the contact surface.When the PSD is 5:1:1 and 15:1:1,the friction coefficient is mainly controlled by the void ratio(VR)of debris.In the case of PSDs 1:5:1 and 1:15:1,the friction coefficient is jointly controlled by the adhesion effect of high-viscosity slurry and the plowing effect at the contact surface,and it gradually shifts towards being dominated by the VR as the amount of debris increases.Regardless of the SLRs and PSDs,the continuous deposition of debris and the injection of slurry incessantly exacerbate both the plowing and adhesion effects,creating a vicious cycle.This is the reason why the high-pressure water flushing method can not only fail to resolve the issue but also accelerate the occurrence of the surge in jacking force.
