The dynamic behaviour of elastic coaxial cylindrica shells, which interact with a flow of compressible fluid in the inner shell or in the annular gap between the shells when both flows are present, is investigated by the finite element method. A number of test problems is considered in the case of c

β¦ Synopsis
The Kirchhoff equations for elastic tubes are modified to include the effect of fluid flow. Using the techniques of linear and nonlinear analysis specially developed for the Kirchhoff equations, the effect of the fluid flow on the basic twist-to-writhe instability is investigated. The results suggest an intriguing modification of the bifurcation threshold due to the flow. Beyond threshold the buckled tube acquires a slight curvature which modifies the flow rate and results in a correction to nonlinearity of the amplitude equation governing the deformation dynamics.

In this paper, the nonlinear planar dynamics of a vertical cantilevered pipe conveying fluid are explored, in the presence of an intermediate spring support, by means of a two-degree-of-freedom Galerkin discretization of the flexible system. The stability of the original equilibrium is examined firs
In the present work, treating the arteries as a thin-walled, linearly tapered, prestressed elastic tube and using the reductive perturbation method, we have studied the amplitude modulation of nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube. By considering the blood as an incompressible viscous
