This study provides a stability analysis of flexible rotating pipes taking into account the simultaneous effects of internal and external fluid loading. Using the Euler-Bernoulli beam assumptions, governing equations for flexural vibrations of rotating pipes are obtained. The internal flow characteristics and the double gyroscopic effect are taken into account when deriving the structural equations coupled with the internal flow. External fluid loading is determined by a special linearization of the Navier-Stokes equations. Considering the circular wall of the pipe as an impermeable boundary to the flow, fluid-induced forcing functions are obtained and then applied to the structural...

A novel reduced order formulation is proposed for the vibration analysis of conical shells containing stationary fluid. Hamiltonian approach is followed to obtain the governing equations of motion for the structure. Utilizing the Navier-Stokes equations and simplifying for irrotational, compressible and inviscid assumptions, the final fluid equation is obtained. A general solution based on the Galerkin method is proposed for the conical shell in vacuum. Several boundary conditions are investigated to show the capability of the proposed solution. A novel reduced order formulation based on the finite element method is developed for solution of the fluid equation. Static condensation technique...
