Abstract

Dynamic behavior of piping as a beam system has been analyzed with the use of the dynamic stiffness method. According to this method, the equations describing the relation between unknown parameters are written by the method of initial parameters, therefore, the solution procedure is similar to that for a static problem. It is shown that for curvilinear beams it is simpler and more efficient to apply a model that consists of straight segments and inertia-free rotation elements. To determine natural frequencies of 3D beam systems, it is proposed to use a method of disconnection of displacements, which makes it possible to discern the frequencies corresponding to different vibration modes (transverse, longitudinal, etc.). The approach allows a correct simulation of the system behavior under forced vibrations induced by a harmonic exciting force.
