Abstract

In this paper we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a cantilever elastic pipe that contains pulsatile flow. The equation of motion was derived by using Hamiltonian action function. We use Galerkin's technique to include only finite number of spatial modes in the solution.

The stability chart of the time-varying system was computed in the space of the relative perturbation amplitude of the flow velocity and dimensionless forcing frequency using an efficient numerical method based on Chebyshev polynomials. In the near of some critical regions bifurcation diagrams were also computed which show secondary Hopf bifurcations and phase locking followed by chaotic motion.
