The vibration of post-buckled fluid-conveying pipe made functionally graded material is analyzed. properties are assumed to be in the thickness direction according power-law distribution. An exact solution obtained for post-buckling deformation with various boundary conditions. linear problem solved around first buckled configuration and natural frequencies three lowest modes obtained. influenc...

Conveying hard and the abrasive materials has been one of the major operational problems in industrial situations. The erosion of plant components, especially the pipe bends by abrasive solid particles of a fluid stream makes installation of pneumatic conveying systems a very costly affair for industry. Most users have either lived with the problem or have employed expensive bend materials to r...

By adopting the absolute nodal coordinate formulation, a novel and general nonlinear theoretical model, which can be applied to solve dynamics of combined straight-curved fluid-conveying pipes with arbitrary initially configurations any boundary conditions, is developed in current study. Based on this established behaviors cantilevered L-shaped pipe conveying fluid without base excitations are ...

An experimental study concerning particle behaviors in a horizontal dilute swirling flow pneumatic conveying was performed. Measurements of particle velocities and concentration profiles have been carried out using the photographic image technique. From the experimental results, it is found that mean particle velocity of swirling flow pneumatic conveying is lower than that of conventional pneum...
